Agar loss bhi ho to humara ho, jabki loss nahi hua tha. (We have mutual respect. We started our own production house after Dilwale. 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 added.
The filmmaker also pointed out that despite a lukewarm domestic response, Dilwale was a huge commercial success overseas. Notably, the film was produced under Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan`s banner, Red Chillies Entertainment.
