Even the biggest stars have faced low points in their careers, and for Shah Rukh Khan, one of the darkest moments came with the 1995 film Trimurti. Despite a dream team behind and in front of the camera, the film turned out to be a colossal box office disaster.

With Ghai’s banner Mukta Arts backing the film, Trimurti was seen as a sure-shot blockbuster in the making. Shah Rukh Khan was already riding high on the success of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, released just months earlier. Everything pointed to another box office hit.
