The industry was abuzz all weekend with the news that two of Bollywood's biggest stars – Salman and Shah Rukh Khan – were livid with one another. With neither star ready to compromise or settle matters, the effect of the spat between the Khans is now spilling onto others in the industry. As a result the industry is now firmly divided into two camps.
Reports suggest that the war of words began when Salman who was in high spirits began instigating Shah Rukh from the beginning of the party by speaking about their reality shows - Dus Ka Dum and Kya aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? It seems he added insult to injury by saying that in spite of being a super star he could not make his show a hit.
Salman, who is known for his loyalty towards friends, got supportive calls from old time friends like Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Khanna, said sources. Fardeen Khan and Zayed Khan also let Salman know on whose side they were in this war. And newcomer Ranbir who shared screen space with Salman also called to voice his solidarity with his co-star.
And like Salman, SRK has an equally strong corner. Industry bigwigs like Yash Chopra and Javed Akhtar called Shah Rukh to enquire about the incident. Besides, Karan Johar, Sajid Khan and Farhan Akhtar once again proved their loyalty towards the actor by offering their support. Kunal Kohli also called the actor to know about his well being.
"While Salman has the support of actors, Shah Rukh has the support of the directors. It's an advantage for Shah Rukh," remarked an industry watcher.
The big question now is will the two superstars make up or will this war firmly divide the industry into two.
