Context
Why does this story matter?
Khan, who marked her Bollywood debut with the 2018 film Kedarnath, was being handled by The Collective since the beginning of her career.
Though she did make a space for herself in the industry in these five years, her career started to see a downfall with films such as Love Aaj Kal, Coolie No. 1, and Atrangi Re, which weren't commercial successes.
