Industry Politics and the Rumor-Driven Power Play After Flops

Hrithik Roshan sits at the center of a rumor thread after War 2 flopped, with chatter that Bollywood’s biggies are backing away. The post alleges estrangements in the elite circle—SRK’s wife Gauri and Twinkle reportedly ended friendships with Suzanne and the Roshan family, leaving SRK and Akshay more distant than before. It also claims YRF and Adi Chopra pulled back from the Krish universe, pushing the Roshans toward self-financing. ^[1]

Harshavardhan has competition! The chatter frames outsiders—Ayushmann—as a rising force, while noting Harshavardhan faces tougher odds. Fans debate whether Ayushmann’s breakout as an outsider is ahead of Harshavardhan’s trajectory, with mixed verdicts onPR-driven momentum. ^[2]

Mahesh Bhatt on SRK: one post asks why Bhatt considers SRK the best actor, despite two misfires with Ram Jaane and Duplicate. The implication is that Bhatt values the star’s overall aura and collaborations, including his work with Aamir Khan. ^[3]

Ghulam departure saga: Deepak Tijori recalls that Mahesh Bhatt quit the project saying, “Mere se nahi hoga, Aamir Khan ko jhel nahi sakta main.” Vikram Bhatt then stepped in as director, with Bhatt noting the film’s protracted path. ^[4]

Across threads, the story isn’t just about flops—it’s a rumor-driven power play shaping perceptions of loyalty, success, and who gets the next big break.
