SRK Trivia: Will Shahrukh Khan repeat the success of 2007 in 2015?

2007 was one of the best years for Shahrukh Khan as he had one hugely critically and commercially appreciated film in ‘Chak De India’ and one out-an-out commercial film in ‘Om Shanti Om’. In 2015, the superstar has two keenly-awaited films lined up for release – while ‘Fan’ is confirmed to hit screens during the Independence Day weekend this year, ‘Raees’ is likely to release next year.

There are also unconfirmed reports that Shahrukh Khan will start shooting for a Rohit Shetty film in April (2015), after the first schedule of Raees and release the film during Christmas. Either way, we doubt Shahrukh would want to let go of a big release weekend like Christmas this year.

Interestingly, this year has quite a few similarities with 2007. In 2007, Shahrukh had two releases – Chak De India and Om Shanti Om – and both films went on to be box office blockbusters. It’s not just the same number of releases we are talking about. There are quite a few other similarities. (article continued below the image)

Shahrukh Khan spotted shooting for his forthcoming film Fan outside Mannat

Shahrukh Khan spotted shooting for his forthcoming film Fan outside Mannat

Some trivia:

  • Chak De India was produced by Yash Raj Films and released during the same week as ‘Fan’ (again Yash Raj Films), which is scheduled to release on 14 August.
  • Om Shanti Om was the more commercial potboiler, which could be 2015’s film with Rohit Shetty.

The stars of the other actors match up too

  • Akshay Kumar had 4 releases in 2007 (Namastey London, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiya and Welcome) and this year too he has the same number of films. In fact, the sequel of Welcome Back releases this year, even though it doesn’t feature Akshay.
  • Hrithik Roshan had no release in 2007, but was busy shooting for ‘Jodha Akbar’ which was scheduled for release in the first half of 2008. Ironically, this year he has no release, and his next is with the director of Jodha Akbar – Ashutosh Gowariker for Mohenjodaro early next year.
  • 2007 was a turning point in Shahid Kapoor’s career as he featured in Imitiaz Ali’s Jab We Met. This year, he will be seen in ‘Queen’ director’s next titled ‘Shandaar’ produced by Dharma Productions. Shahid has also said that Alia, his co-star in ‘Shandaar’ reminds him of Kareena Kapoor in Jab We Met.

The future always resembles itself to the past. Do you think 2015 will be the new 2007? Will Fan be 2015’s Chak De India? Similarly Akshay’s line-up of films looks exciting too, will he be able to deliver a memorable film like Namaste London again this year? Only time will tell.

  • @pathan, srk also struggled to cross 100cr before working with rohit shetty. Eg- don2(106cr), jthj(101cr). Kudoos to rohit shetty for reviving king’s career.

  • @sss, we had seen ur king’s power on christamas 2011 with don2(106cr).
    Salman’s crap movies like ett, kick etc collected more than king’s classy like jthj, hny etc, that shows how big star salman is compare to ur king.
    U don’t blv on highest grossers because ur king struggling to giv a highest grosser since 2007.

  • 2015 will be a combo year of 2005 and 2009 for our king kong khan, or we can say 2011 as well. our king kong khan will give 2 back to back flops. table fan is looking like Billu returns and Rohit’s next will be saving grace and may turn out to be average grosser like Clown 2(2011). and raees is looking like Paheli Returns. so our king kong khan will repeat 2005, 2009 and 2011 years with 2015 and 2016.

  • Also there is no notable in fan like it wer in chak de….. so ultimately itz all on shahrukhs shoulder

  • @King of overacting
    Only amir not salman….dil to tasali achi de lete ho….we accept that after MNIK Srk could not reach the top position but for poor salman fans who consider salman the biggest star of India and at the endin ko amir pe kaam chalana parta ha coz salman is not able to be top

  • @tiger- u cn give only boi figures as u afraid to give real figures then wht r u doing here on indicine wch dont give any boi figures??? i think u have lost ur mind…lol.. srk had already gave much bigger grosser than rohit directorials. non of d rohit’s films have touched 110cr mark till CE.. aftr CE rohit became no.1 director.. even whn he came wid SR he cudnt crossed CE’s first week record nd finished its lyftym below 145 cr.. atleast wid a flop director farah khan srk gave back to back 200 cr grosser nd collected 205 cr… first tell ur bhabhijaan to cm wid non masala/original script movie then talk to us

    @suchit- dont worry bacche u never know dat dis yr cud become 2008 for ur bhabhi jaan also… lol

  • @pathan,
    bfore barking on salman’s masala movies can u say plz which genre ce and hny belong to??? Oh! I forgot hny belong to patriotic genre and ce belong to traditional attire genre due to the songs indiawale an lungi dance(many srk fans said earlier)…LOL.
    I prefer trade fig over producer fig becoz if i consider 2nd one then even hrithik will b ahead of king and i can’t see king behind hr. See @indicine’s top15 actors article both Salman and Aamir are way ahead of ur king despite of considering producer fig there.

  • @tiger,also OUR KING didn’t gave any flop like jai ho/talash,lol.the period when sallu films struggled and unable to touch 50cr then it’s south remake which saved our bhojpuri bhai’s career.also you don’t believe in biggest opening because your puny south remake actor can’t have that much star power to pull audience in huge at opening.DON2/JTHJ are high class films probably shouldn’t have not made in India in which 80% peoples remained below poverty line however those affected hugely due to RA ONE but JTHJ suffered due to clash made by bhai’s conspiracy.
    @navin,it’s not storm Auncle but a biggest hurricane.HNY becomes fuss due to Farah mam but still becomes super hit due to OUR KING and most of due to HIS strongest 10pack unlike our photoshoped body not even vfx in flop film jai ho that bhaijaan shown,lol.BTW don’t show your half actor’s power with out brand/raju he’ll deliver talash and mela soon .
    @suchit,tingu has no jobs now and his fans also jobless.half actor is now convincing YRF/raju for another treat but no body is intersted so we should wait for another talash from chotu khan,lol.

  • @SSS chotu haklu, stuttering overactor is struggling to break his rohit’s record, but it’s impossible now as no one is interested to see his wrinkled face. king aamir is boss so he doesn’t need to work excessively like a labor and do multiple films. his 1 film is enough to rape everyone. aamir has dangal you idiot. dangal will smash PK’s records easily in india and overseas. while tingu haklu srk begged rohit shetty to save his career just like he saved his career with Dyper Express, he will again save him as table fan and raees will be billu returns and paheli returns.

  • @Pathan since 2008 every years has been attached to aamir and salman. ha ha ha. we all know the history. every time your stuttering actor’s movies are more awaited due to paid media but everytime we all know how he gets perverted by aamir and salman storms. so better take a bow. this year BB and PRDP will top the list just like 1999, 2011 and 2012. because this year there is no aamir release, this year is salman year all the way. forget aamir and salman, the kid ranbir too will overtake your stuttering tingu srk this year. and wait for dangal next year, it will cross 400 crores and your stuttering actor will keep chasing dhoom 3’s record forever.

  • @sss,
    king did not giv any flop yet……lol….joke of the millenium, more plz!!
    And salman’s flop jai ho(112cr) collected way more than global king’s blockbusters like don2(106cr), jthj(101cr) etc, which shows Salman’s starpower is the Himalaya in front of a small PATTHAR(king)…lol.
    Acc census 2011, aprox 30% indians liv in BPL but u find it that 80% BPL people in india….Hats off to ur knowledge as well source!!!
    SOS clashed with jthj bcoz anybody can dare to clash with chota mota star like srk. Tell them to clash with megastar like Salman!!

  • Don’t talk about king khan or you would get as many dislikes that you would never seen on comment box. Talking about the movie, this year all top five actors who are releasing movie this year should deliver at least couple of hits. Raees and fans no doubt will be hit. Brother, baby or gabar should be hit. Salman movies are never flop this days. Ranbir movie should be hit too. Aamir got no release.

  • @tiger,even BIGB also has flops.so what?but no one gave a entire flop/disaster decade like our sallu bhai gave,lol.BTW I considered peoples below poverty considering their logic/their taste of watching films buy most peoples belongs to rural undeveloped areas.they don’t know about class.whatever so nice to hear again the word-clash.ajay clashed his masala movie against a pure classic JTHJ which not that much entertaining and containing any item songs.still it defeated by JTHJ.after the next year ajay’s satyagraha destroyed like rat in front of CE.after that he got to know about KING KHAN’S power and shifted his date of action Jackson.bit KING SRK is not like salman who is convincing akki/ajay not to clash with him by treating as friend.but how you forgot EPIC clash of DON vs jaaneman ,how your puny star sallu+akki thrashed badly like an ant by GLOBAL MEGASTAR KING KHAN.ha ha ha ha.too much fun.so you said the TRUTH ,an is just like himalaya in giving flops compared to KING KHAN pathar in giving least flops to Bollywood among all actors,lol.

  • @Parsu You moron first check the list of top worldwide grossers. aamir has 3 movies in top 5. srk has only 2. while salman’s starts from 6th. Lol on your tiny brain. aamir has not signed any film because he is not money hungry struggler like your king kong K K K K Kiran stuttering actor. aamir is gonna sign dangal and it will break all records of pk and create new unbeatable benchmarks. wait till next year. aamir movies also are never flop after mela. talaash was clean hit. don’t make up your own fake verdicts for aamir’s movies.

  • @sss, yes amitji also had flops but i hav never seen anybody saying that amitabh has zero flops like u said for king…….ANDHEPAN KI BHI KOI HAD HOTI HAI.
    Agreed salman has more flops than king but salman has two times more blockbuster than ur king. Ur king is not comparable even with hrithik in terms of blockbuster and big hits, forget Salman.
    Now plz don’t start to bark that hits are bigger success than blockbusters like u said king has no flops.

  • @suchit,lol.stuttering means aa aa aaila..oh Teri!!!!!!!he is not only a struggler from mouth but also from brain is s struggler in thinking .for the reason he is taking triple shot of one sequence scene hence got the name perfaketionist aka retaketionist .awaiting people to realise them he is doing miracle.yes your mental midget not is a dying for money so he hiked the ticket price double otherwise pk would have struggle to beat even d3.CE is at top 3 and HNY at top 5.five correct facts.who said talash is a hit even your favourite boi also not mentioned not a clean hit however they managed it to give semi hit verdict was while in reality it’s big flop,lol. amir bought boi site,if he can change talash as ATBB then that also not a big surprise,lol.

    Not only talash is a flop.after disaster like mela ,he also have another disaster mangal pandey and the recent dhobi ghat.dangal sounds like mangal ,that means it will be dangal pandey or mp-2,lol.mark my word with out raju/dhoom,amir will struggle to cross even 150ct.but half actor can easily surpass 100cr because he is taking so much time to cheat people’s mind.

    Also don’t forget our half actor has only 12 hits in entire career and having wannabe illogical classics like rdb/3i/pk.while KING KHAN has 12 HITS IN A ROW IN A way to cross MEGASTAR RAJESHJI’S 15 HIT STREAK.so don’t know when half actor give his 7th hit in a row after flop talash.with out raju/dhoom brand he struggled to surpass 100cr and their moron fans are showing 200,300cr which is not at all due to him.while KING KHAN is giving hit with disaster director anubhav sinha and super hit with tmk fame director that also with 150+cr budget.that’s called star power.see the stardom of opening you’ll understand why HE IS CALLED THE KING otherwise he would have called any perfaketionist,lol.

  • @tiger,one more joke please?salman has blockbusters than KING KHAN twice?really?salman has only 1 blockbuster more than KING KHAN,lol.that is salman has 11 blockbusters and KING KHAN has 10 blockbusters.PAGALPAN BHI KOI HAD HOTI HAI BHAI…..ROFL.salman has 34 flops but KING KHAN has 18 FLOPS.but salman has double times more flops than KING KHAN.now enjoy.but salman is the 2nd actor who gave this much flops after akshay Kumar.so we call him bollywood’s 2nd most flop giving actor,lol.thanks to south industry,because 6 blockbusters belongs to south remake only,lol.I mean they didin’t have any shame also what they are doing.copy paste becomes their dhanda and lol on fans like you for supporting their poor star.

  • @sss, two comments earlier u said king has no flops, in last comment u said king has 18flops……LAGTA HAI TU SUDHAR RAHA HAI BETA..
    King has 10 blockbuster!!! Really??? See the list…
    1. DDLJ
    2. KKHH
    3. KKKG
    4. OSO
    5. RNBDJ
    6. CE
    (check any website)
    Now, plz don’t say yljk, asoka, billu etc are blockbusters.

  • @tiger,initially I said wornd as bhai has 11 bb,actually he has 10 bb.

    salman’s bb—-mpk,hahk,ka,partner,dabang,ready,bg,ett,dabang2,kick

    KING KHAN’S BLOCKBUSTERS—-

    K2H2
    MOHABBATEIN
    K3G
    VZ
    CDI
    OSO
    RNBDJ
    CE

    so KING KHAN also has same 10 blockbusters like salman .both MB,VZ were Verdicted blockbuster by old boi amuntil new boi came on 2013.even they changed salman’s partner’s verdict from blockbuster to super hit.no you got it moron.

  • @sss, in which world are you living where veer zaara, kkkg, mohabbatein bcm blockbusters??? These all are superhits check any website (even @indicine). If i include superhits of salman then his blockbusters list will go beyond 20.
    God plz give little wisdom to our very own @sss to understand the difference between blockbusters and hits/superhits otherwise tommorow he will declare king has more than 20blockbusters….

  • All these were blockbusters according to old boi.even k3g is now still showing as blockbuster in boi.but they changed verdict from MB, VZ ,CDI to downgrade KING KHAN.give thanks to me I didn’t added these films of KING KHAN has many super hits —-DARR,BAAZIGAR,PARDES,DTPH,MHN,KHNH,DEVDAS,JTHJ ,HNY

    with HIS blockbusters because I’m not changing color like you people are doing.I know very well which films are blockbusters and those films are blockbuster that always remain whether you accept or not it will not affect us a bit,lol.

  • @sss, stop barking rubbishes like old boi bla, bla, bla….and check any website even @indicine these all are just superhits.
    Btw, ur this kind of hypocrisy makes u biggest entertainer of @indicine.

  • After Amitabh bachchan, Srk is the only best actor superstar in our country and Fan and Raees will be the Class act by this class Actor.
