Chalte Chalte, a film on marital discord, has gone on to become one of the biggest successes of the year.

There were reports that the film was similar to Shaad Ali's Saathiya. The box office tells a different story. People loved it. And the one reason for the film's success is Shah Rukh Khan.

"I believe Chalte Chalte is the biggest hit of the year. That is what distributors tell me," says Khan just before leaving for London for his monthly post-surgery checkup. From London, SRK leaves for the US for a 90-day schedule of Karan Johar's Kal Ho Na Ho, co-starring Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta and Jaya Bachchan.
