He spoke about abuses and cuss words during an interview with film critic Anupama Chopra on her digital platform Film Companion, read a statement.

Talking about the failure of "Fan", Shah Rukh said: "I genuinely, honestly feel extremely sad that I let Maneesh Sharma down. I feel Maneesh Sharma deserved a better platform when he worked with me."
