Things just can't get better or bigger than this. First, we heard about Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan coming together for Danny Boyle's next production. Then when we saw SRK drop by on Akshay Kumar's film sets and visit his house, the industry was abuzz with stories of the two stars co-producing and acting in a film together. Taking it all a step further, apparently Salman Khan and Aamir have now decided to come together for a project too!
Apparently, the Andaz Apna Apna co-stars didn't share a very good rapport during the making of the Raj Kumar Santoshi film years back. Things however changed after Salman fought with his close friend Shah Rukh on Katrina's 24th birthday party.
If Aamir's blogs, his media statements, Salman's interviews and the industry rumour mills are to be believed, Aamir and Salman are now fast friends. And it's not just the SRK factor that keeps them together.
Apparently Salman spends hours at Aamir's house and the two discuss art and films. Salman who opted to have Aamir walk the ramp for his Being Human fashion show at the upcoming Couture Week to counter SRK who will be walking for KJo's collection launch during the same fashion event, has reportedly also decided to work with his Andaz Apna Apna co-star.
According to industry buzz and media reports, the project is to be co-produced by Aamir Khan Productions and Salman's brother Sohail Khan's production house. This is to ensure that both the actors had equally justified roles. The director and other cast of the film are yet to be finalised.
When contacted, Aamir's official spokesperson denied any such tie up. He said, "There is nothing in the offing right now. His hands are full with 3 Idiots and three films, which are under production. He is not planning any other film right now."
Salman's business manager, Vikas Kapoor, too refused any such tie up.
However, we decided to see how the industry feels about any such tie up between the few top actors. We asked who they would prefer to see together on screen - Aamir-Sallu or SRK-Akki. And this is what they had to say...
Anees Bazmee, filmmaker: I vote both the pairs. Both the films will not need any publicity. People will anxiously wait for these films and both will become super hits.
Madhur Bhandharkar, filmmaker: Both.
Manoj Desai, Manager, G-7 multiplex, Mumbai: I will vote for Aamir-Salman because it guarantees a 100 per cent success. Aamir is sincere and excellent in marketing and Salman after the recent success of Wanted is very hot with the audience.
Girish Wankhede, Deputy General Manager of Cinemax: I will go for the Aamir-Salman combination. I don't think SRK and Akshay can ever do a Andaz Apna Apna. They are the bigger stars than SRK and Akshay.
Amod Mehra, Senior Trade anaylist: Of course, Aamir-Salman combination because Aamir's film is always different. And now, after Wanted, what can I say about Salman!
Tanuja Chandra, filmmaker: Aamir-Salman's combination because they always look opposite. They have good chemistry and look genuinely funny in comedy. On the whole, I find them very cute.
So which pair do you think will be more entertaining on screen? Would you prefer Aamir-Salman over SRK-Akki? Click on the link below to vote for your favourite jodi!
