Our sources say that all's not well between the two once-upon-a-time best friends... So here's an episodic explanation of the cold war that's brewing between the two Khans..
Salman Khan andAamir Khan have been friends ever since they turned Paplu Taplu, err Amar Prem in Andaaz Apna Apna. And their bond has been rock solid. At times when either of them have gone through a rough patch or tumultuous times, the other one has always been there, providing a sense of security. Point in case? Salman was there when Aamir was going through a break up in his marriage and Aamir too stood like a rock during Salman's battle with law. But now, things seem to have taken a different turn. All's not well between the two Khans. And somehow, it's evident as well. Following a series of incidents that has happened in the last few weeks, it's almost a given that both the actors aren't even on talking terms at the moment.
Here's an episodic explanation of how the cold war started...
How it started?
Salman signing Sultan hit the nail in the coffin, we believe. Aamir has been prepping up for months to achieve a particular body prototype for his next film, Dangal, that revolves around wrestling. Salman, on the other hand, will just be working out for two months now before Sultangoes on floors. In any case, Aamir has lost out on almost a time span of 8 months which he's spent in just getting ready for the film. And now that both Sultan and Dangal will dwell on similar plot lines, Aamir has started freaking out. Why? Despite announcing Dangal earlier, Salman might just take the cherry away because his film releases on Eid next year, almost five months before Dangal hits screens next Christmas. The similarity in the theme might prove detrimental for Dangal and the film may end up looking repetitive. That's Aamir's main concern for now.
Aamir hogs the limelight!
At a time when Bajrangi Bhaijaan is shattering records, Aamir Khan tried to take away the limelight from his friend Salman by claiming that it was he who was offered the film first. While we do understand that Aamir might have claimed the same in jest and excitement, his claims coming right after BB was shattering his own records was far from just being coincidental. At a recent party too hosted by Salman, Aamir went around telling all invitees how Kabir Khan had approached him before finally getting Salman on board. This didn't go down well with Salman who reportedly had a brief altercation with Aamir at the party which soon turned into a heated argument. Onlookers present were asked not to talk about the episode to anyone but soon, the news was out everywhere.
Salman's reply and Kabir's denial
While Aamir kept claiming being the first choice for BB, director Kabir Khan rubbished all such claims and told reporters that he had never made an offer to Aamir. Also, Salman, when asked about the same told the press, "Aamir told me that the writer had approached him and he suggested my name. Now it's either Aamir saab's generosity or..." What Sallu left unsaid is still echoing in the gossip corridors of Bollywood.
Aamir strikes back
Call it insecurity or just being cautious, Aamir seems to be keeping a tab on Salman and his next, Sultan. The moment he heard that Ali Abbas Zafar has finalised real locations in Haryana to serve as the backdrop for Sultan, Aamir was worried. Why? The actor has plans to shootDangal in the same regions and Salman shooting his film in Haryana has only added to Aamir's woes. What Aamir did next is unbelievable. He called Aditya Chopra and requested him to shift his shooting locations. Adi, being a good friend has now decided to scout for new locations in Punjab. While Aamir might be a little relieved now, this hasn't gone down well with our Bhaijaan who's left fuming at Aamir's antics.
