Friends turned foes turned friends, Shah Rukh and Salman are warming up to each other in a big way. While Salman has been silent on social media yesterday, but the newshounds extracted that million-dollar byte from this Khan just a day before his colleague's 50th birthday. Salman was at a media interaction for his upcoming film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo yesterday, when, in between signing autographs for people, someone reminded him that it was SRK's birthday today. Salman, who has worked with Shah Rukh in films like Karan Arjun and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, said, "I wish him the best in life, I wish him good health, family and success and most amazing life. I would want his whole family to be healthy. . I wish his films continue to be successful." And today, at the media meet, Shah Rukh returned the greeting with, "I too wish that Salman's kids take his name forward. Love to his family. I love him very much and don't want any controversy. He is a stud and my best buddy." The actors, who were not on talking terms for many years, patched up last year and have been on great terms ever since. Both Shah Rukh and Salman turn 50 in just more than a month from each other. While SRK celebrates his birthday on November 2, Salman will ring in his 50th onDecember 27 this year.

Enough has been written about the clash between Shah Rukh - Kajol-starrer Dilwaleand Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Bajirao Mastani with Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra in the lead. Both the films will hit the theatres on December 18. However, there have been rumours for a long time about differences arising between Shah Rukh and Deepika as it was said that Deepika, who made her debut with Shah Rukh's Om Shanti Om, had wanted SRK to change the release date of Dilwale and when he had not relented, she had challenged him on a social networking site. However, the actress, who has worked with Shah Rukh in Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express and Farah Khan's Happy New Year, said, "I have a personal equation with Shah Rukh and I would never do something like that." And looks like all is well between Shah Rukh and Deepika as the superstar during his birthday meet with the media said, "If Deepika is my lucky charm, she will work for me on the 18^th. It is not good that we are coming together. But now that we are coming on the same day, we hope both the movies have a long run. I have full love, respect and wishes for the Bajirao Mastani team."
