Now, all eyes are on "Laal Singh Chaddha" and family dramedy "Raksha Bandhan" with Bollywood megastar Akshay Kumar -- which also releases on Thursday.
Taurani estimates that "Laal Singh Chaddha" will make $19 million, falling short of Khan's per-film average of $35 million.
Khan, who co-produced "Laal Singh Chaddha", believes Bollywood hasn't lost its mojo, blaming the early release of movies on streaming services for lower box-office takings.
"I feel that perhaps we -- I'm including myself in this -- as Hindi filmmakers, need to... also pick topics which are relevant to a larger audience, as opposed to picking topics which are relevant to a smaller audience," he said.
