Harshvardhan Rane Responds to Shah Rukh Khan Comparison: ‘He’s a God!’
Harshvardhan Rane’s Reaction to Comparisons with Shah Rukh Khan
A Humble Response
Actor Harshvardhan Rane is currently basking in the success of his latest movie, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. Recently, he faced comparisons with the legendary Shah Rukh Khan, especially after a news portal suggested he is among the few actors to deliver multiple hits in the same year. However, Rane humbly brushed off these comparisons, labeling Shah Rukh as “God” and emphasizing that he does not deserve to be mentioned alongside him.
Social Media Insights
In an Instagram story, Rane shared a screenshot highlighting a headline that noted his impressive box office performance, mentioning his collection of ₹87.9 Crore. He humorously conveyed his thoughts in Hindi, saying, "He achieved it twice in a year with his god-level stardom, while I merely followed in his footsteps. Please, don’t put my name next to his. I am just his humble devotee."
Recent Successes
Earlier this year, Rane’s film Sanam Teri Kasam was re-released, setting a record as India’s highest-grossing re-release, accumulating over ₹33 crore. Meanwhile, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which released during Diwali, has also been successful, recovering its ₹25 crore budget within four days—totaling ₹52.5 crore domestically and ₹71.8 crore worldwide.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Remarkable Comeback
In contrast, Shah Rukh Khan had a spectacular year with multiple hits, including Pathaan, which grossed ₹1,050 crore, and Jawan, which earned ₹1,160 crore globally. His consistent success sets a high bar in the industry, making Rane’s achievements even more notable.
Future Projects
Looking ahead, Shah Rukh Khan is set to star in King, directed by Siddharth Anand and slated for a 2026 release. On the other hand, Harshvardhan Rane is working on Silaa, featuring co-stars Sadia Khateeb and Karanveer Mehra, though its release date remains undisclosed.
