Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's last film Jab Harry Met Sejal' was one of the biggest disasters of his career, but the director of his next film, Aanand L Rai has said, "bank balance is not something that affects the superstar. But it's the fear of "losing the love of people that has begun to affect him.

The dwarf' film, which is scheduled to release during Christmas next year, once again carries the burden of expectations, especially from the director who last made the blockbuster Tanu Weds Manu Returns'.

"We are aware that his films haven't worked. It's there in front of us, we can't deny that. Box office collections don't affect him as much. Bank account deposit is the last thing on his mind. What affects him is that he might be losing the love of people Aanand L Rai was quoted as saying by a leading daily.

But the director has taken it upon himself to "rectify Shah Rukh's relationship with the audience, promising to do a "damn good job of his next film.

"With our film, I know I will rectify his relationship with the audience. I won't let the reactions to his last films cloud my head right now. I am here to deliver and I will do a damn good job of it. Right now, we are having fun at work and I won't let anything change that Rai said.

Shah Rukh, who never had an outright box office failure for over a decade after Paheli' in 2005, delivered the year's biggest disaster in Jab Harry Met Sejal' which followed the poor performance of FAN' last year. While FAN' tanked at the box office, it was JHMS' that shocked the trade as it finished with lifetime business of around 63 crore.

The Aanand L Rai film, also starring Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, releases in theatres next December.

Should have casted other actresses instead of these two.

With Anushka involved, I can't say anything. Instead of adding worth to a movie, she repels the potential audience. She is always in the weakest films of the directors.

Let's see. He made Sonam act.

Anushka is a great actress. She gave Ranbir and SRK both disasters. ALR also seems keen on losing money.
