Says a source close to the development, “The film that Shah Rukh and Rohit were supposed to do together next is now shelved. They both hold each other responsible for the failure of Dilwale. Rohit feels Shah Rukh made a big mistake releasing Dilwale on the same Friday as Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani. Shah Rukh feels Rohit didn’t work hard enough on Dilwale. The parting has not been amicable.”
