I Hugged SRK; Why Make An Election Campaign with Dilwale and BM: SLB Opens Up!

We know that December 18 is going to bring on a battle of sorts, in Bollywood. Two mega movies Dilwale by Rohit Shetty and Bajirao Mastani by Sanjay Leela Bhansali are all set to lock horns on the day. Both the movies are extremely popular and therefore it is tough to say which will will overshine the other.
While Bajirao Mastani stars Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra, Dilwale stars the very popular Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. It also features Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon. Both the trailers were well received when they released recently.
When SLB was asked in a recent interview if there was any enmity between himself and SRK, he said, "I talk to Shah Rukh as well as Salman Khan. I met SRK the other day at Amitji's (Amitabh Bachchan) party, and we hugged and chatted. Of all the actors that I have worked with, I have met Shah Rukh the most. I am not here to be enemies with anyone. I have great respect for him. His next film (a Rohit Shetty directorial) is different, and so is mine. They should both do well in today's times, when there are so many screens. Why are we making an election campaign with these films, wondering which party will win? This isn't politics, or a sport. SRK is a huge star, a great person and a wonderful friend. I don't have reasons to spoil relationships with people. I enjoy my conversations with him. I am very fond of him."
