Shah Rukh Khan waives a ₹42–45 lakh payment connected to the Marathi film Deool Band 2, according to reports citing the film’s director Pravin Tarde. Tarde says the waiver came during the post-production period, when the film faced budget constraints and the timing of payments was challenging. The support helped reduce the film’s financial burden and provided relief as production continued. Both outlets also link the decision to the period when the film’s eventual commercial outcome was not yet certain.

Following the waiver, Deool Band 2 goes on to perform strongly at the box office. One report states the film has crossed ₹81 crore and is nearing ₹100 crore, attributing part of the improved momentum to the resolved financial issues during production. The accounts emphasize the waiver amount and its role in helping finalize and release the film, while presenting the film’s box office progress as a subsequent development.
