SRK’s ‘spiritual guru’ recalls his vaastu tips to him before Pathaan Jawan worked for him
Filmmaker Anand Pandit recently opened up on his contribution to the success of SRK’s Jawan and Pathaan.
In 2024 Shah Rukh Khan staged a big comeback to the big screen with his films Pathaan and Jawan. The film emerged as two of the highest-grossing Bollywood productions. In a recent interview Anand Pandit, who SRK once called his “spiritual guru”, revealed that he gave some vaastu tips to the superstar before the release of both Jawan and Pathaan.
Reacting to SRK calling him his spiritual guru, Anand told a portal that the actor approached him for vaastu advice before release of both films. That when they became close, Anand Pandit started guiding him — there is a special Vaastu Shastra based on energy, which he(Anand) practise. We adjusted the energy that was required at his place. And it worked for him. He is such a humble man and a great guy that he publicly acknowledged it, and Anand is grateful for that.
In 2023, Shah Rukh Khan attended Anand Pandit’s 60th birthday celebration, wherein he talked about his relationship with him and said, “My final relationship with him is that he is my spiritual guru. His buildings, under the Lotus Developers, are high-tech and modern. He was surprised when he noticed that once you get into these buildings, you feel like you’re in New York or London. They are so high-end and still so close to being like home — warm, beautiful, and such amenities.”
Adding that since he is a developer, he knows Vaastu well. Every now and then, SRK calls him home and tell him, ‘Sir, Sir, his last film didn’t work, please do something. Anand would suggest putting up a mirror (or something auspicious). But fortunately, his movies are working.”
Anand is a producer and distributor who owns Anand Pandit Motion Pictures, a film studio that has produced and distributed Bollywood films such as Total Dhamaal, Missing, Sarkar 3, and Great Grand Masti, among others. He has also produced several other films, including Thank God, The Big Bull, and Chehre. Anand is also a real estate developer and the founder of Lotus Developers, which develops high-end properties in Mumbai.
Pathaan and Jawan’s box office success
Pathaan marked Shah Rukh’s return to the big screen after a long hiatus. The film, which also featured Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, and Dimple Kapadia, broke box office records, earning ₹1,050 crore worldwide. The superstar followed it up with another action drama, Jawan, directed by Atlee. The film featured SRK in a double role alongside Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, and others, and became an even bigger hit, earning ₹1,160 crore globally.
SRK will next be seen in Siddharth Anand’s film “King”the action drama reportedly features his daughter Suhana Khan in a key role, marking her theatrical debut. If reports are to be believed, the film will also feature an ensemble cast including Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Deepika Padukone, and Rani Mukerji. It is expected to go on floors later this year.
