The partnership between Shah Rukh Khan and Rohit Shetty was a resounding success with Chennai Express, but their follow-up film Dilwale did not replicate the same magic. Since then, speculation about a rift between the two has persisted. Recently, Rohit Shetty addressed these rumors, putting the speculation to rest.

In a recent interview with Komal Nahta on his Game Changers podcast, Rohit responded to the fallout rumors following Dilwale’s box office performance, stating, “Nahi aisa kuch nahi (There’s nothing like that).” He emphasized their mutual respect, explaining, “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. (We have mutual respect. After Dilwale, we opened our own production house. We decided to make our own films so that if we face a loss, it is on us. However, we did not face a loss in Dilwale).”Rohit also highlighted that Dilwale was a significant success internationally.

Produced by Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan under their banner Red Chillies Entertainment, Dilwale was released on December 19, 2015, and faced a clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama Bajirao Mastani, which starred Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and Priyanka Chopra.During the same conversation, Rohit spoke about the friendships he has cultivated in the industry, mentioning his close ties with Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, and Deepika Padukone.
