Reasons Rohit Shetty hasn’t collaborated with Shah Rukh Khan since ‘Dilwale’

The director-producer Rohit Shetty recently answered a fan’s inquiry regarding the supposed gap that exists between him and Shah Rukh Khan as a result of their almost ten-year absence from one another. The triumph of the 2006 movie Golmaal represented a major career turning point for the filmmaker.

He then worked with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on the films Dilwale (2015) and Chennai Express (2013). The two titans of the Indian cinema industry haven’t collaborated since, though, which has raised rumors of possible conflict. In an interview with The Lallantop, Shetty addressed the rumors and provided clarification on the matter.

Shetty said, “There’s nothing like that,” rejecting the idea of strife. He explained that the secret to their partnership is coming up with a great tale, and he expressed his eagerness to collaborate with Khan once more if a project emerged that was even more successful than Chennai Express. “If we have to collaborate and I receive a compelling plot, it ought to be superior to Chennai Express. That is the most crucial factor. We will collaborate without a doubt if something similar arises, Shetty said.

In addition, Shetty provided details about his father, Bollywood stuntman MB Shetty. He related a tragic occurrence that happened on the sets of Bombay 405 Miles, in which a stuntman named Mansoor died due to a misunderstanding during a stunt scene. The stuntman caught fire when Shetty’s father, who was meant to signal for a gasoline blast, unintentionally tapped the wrong person. Taking accountability, Shetty’s father experienced failures in his personal and professional life, which ultimately resulted in his death.

The filmmaker emphasized his father’s involvement in the fighters’ group and his dedication to the film industry’s workforce. MB Shetty never wavered in his commitment to his coworkers’ well-being. The director talked about the impact his father’s terrible error had on him, how it harmed his career, and how it finally led to his premature death a year later.

The interview gave insight into the difficulties Shetty’s family had on a personal and professional level, illuminating the intricate workings of the film business and the lasting effects that these kinds of events can have on people and their legacy.
