Back in 2018, the box office saw an interesting clash when Yash’s action thriller KGF went head-to-head with Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero during their release windows. Industry chatter from the time suggested it was a competitive moment, but Yash is now setting the record straight - he never viewed the two films as rivals or as a battle for supremacy.

According to reports doing the rounds, Yash recently recalled the release and emphasized that despite KGF’s impressive box office performance outpacing Zero, he never felt the victory made him bigger than Shah Rukh Khan. The KGF star reportedly stressed that even having his film mentioned in the same conversation as SRK’s is itself a massive honor that he doesn’t take lightly.

Yash’s humility here is genuinely refreshing in an industry often consumed by one-upmanship. He’s made it clear that Shah Rukh Khan is a superstar in every sense - someone whose impact on cinema, culture, and the hearts of millions transcends mere box office collections. It’s the kind of respect that speaks volumes about how the newer generation views the legends who paved the way.

Our cameras and sources are keeping tabs on all the industry chatter unfolding out there.
