Rohit Shetty has finally addressed the ongoing rumours about a fallout with Shah Rukh Khan. Many believed their bond weakened after Dilwale didn’t perform well at the box office. However, Rohit clarified the situation during an interview on Komal Nahta’s Game Changers podcast. He said, “Nahi aisa kuch nahi (There’s nothing like that).”
Why They Took Different Paths
Rohit explained that after Dilwale, he started focusing on his own production house. He said, “Ek respect hai humare beech me aur Dilwale ke baad ye hua ki immediately phir humne humare khud ki production house kholi. Humne decide kiya ki hum khud ki filmein banayenge. Agar loss bhi ho to humara ho, jabki loss nahi hua tha.”
He made it clear that there was no fallout. Instead, they simply chose separate directions for their careers.
