In 2013, Chennai Express became a massive box office success, blending comedy, action, and drama in a way that fans still cherish to this day. The hit collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and director Rohit Shetty was hailed as one of the year’s biggest blockbusters, leaving fans eager for more.

However, when the duo reunited for Dilwale in 2015, the magic didn’t quite return. Despite its star-studded cast and glossy presentation, the film underperformed at the domestic box office. Interestingly, director Rohit Shetty later pointed out that Dilwale was a strong performer in the overseas market, even if it clashed with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic period drama Bajirao Mastani, starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra.

The relative failure of Dilwale sparked rumors of a rift between Shah Rukh Khan and Rohit Shetty, with fans speculating about a fallout. However, no confirmation ever surfaced, and both have remained tight-lipped about their professional dynamics post-Dilwale.

In recent interactions, Rohit Shetty spoke warmly about his long-standing relationships in the industry, particularly with Ajay Devgn—whom he calls his elder brother—as well as with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.

Rohit’s latest film, Singham Again, released in 2024, marked the third installment in the Singham series and the fifth in his Cop Universe, which includes Singham, Singham Returns, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi.

On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Dunki (2023), directed by Rajkumar Hirani. He’s now prepping for his upcoming action-thriller King, where he will share the screen with Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Abhay Verma. The film is being directed by Pathaan director Siddharth Anand.

While the chapter on SRK and Rohit Shetty’s partnership may have paused, fans still hold out hope that the two icons might collaborate again—and recreate the Chennai Express magic one more time.
