Salman Khan had earlier refunded distributors after the dismal performance of 'Tubelight'
The year 2017 saw a few hits and some of the biggest flops, especially with the failure of movies like Salman Khan's Tubelight and Shah Rukh Khan's Jab Harry Met Sejal. Post the debacle of Tubelight, Salman had reimbursed the distributors of the film for the losses that they had incurred and now, looks like SRK too has followed suit.
Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma starrer Imtiaz Ali directorial Jab Harry Met Sejal tanked at the box office. The movie managed to rake in about Rs 62.33 crore which led to huge losses for the distributors.
Speculations have been rife whether Shah Rukh will reimburse the distributors too. If a report on BollywoodHungama is to be believed, then Shah Rukh has in fact compensated about 30% to some distributors, even though he was legally not bound to compensate them. The actor has also refunded about 15% to NH Studioz and 30% to other distributors.
Reportedly, Shah Rukh's team analysed the the losses incurred by each distributor. Since Jab Harry Met Sejal was expected to collect Rs 100 crore at least, NH Studioz had acquired the all India rights of the film for Rs 80 crore but sadly, the film didn't even manage to touch that figure.
This isn't the first time that Shah Rukh has compensated the distributors for their loss. The actor has previously refunded the distributors for the 2015 release Dilwale, his 2005 release Paheli and his 2001 release Asoka.
As of now, the actor is shooting for Aanand L Rai's upcoming flick in which he will be seen playing a midget. The movie also stars Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. Speculations about him starring in Dhoom 4 are also rife but the actor has confirmed that he hasn't signed any other film except that of Aanand L Rai as of now.
