He is pretty shaken up: Anjum Rajabali on Shah Rukh Khan exiting Saare

Also, he should just stay away from Anushka their pairing sucks! 

That said, failure should shake one up.. How else would you be motivated to do something about it?

it wasn't an ordinary failure..it was massive...the budget was 200 crs and it wrapped up below 100 crores..just imagine the losses..it's a big setback and it's high time SRK shouldn't take his stardom for granted. its a big second flop for him after JHMS, has to be careful now

I did not insinuate his failure was ordinary.. I said its good to be shaken up to a certain extent after a failure.. Makes it easier for you to actually comes to terms with it 

As I'm sure that there is always something positive when something negative happens, it's absolutely okay for me that SRK opted out of the movie...for whatever reasons.

He is now free from any commitment...can start quasi at 'zero'...
