The Joker Fallout: Shirish Kunder's Journey From SRK To Akshay Kumar

CNN-IBN reports that Akshay, Shirish and Farah are friends no longer and that Akshay has vowed never to work with them again. Apparently he's upset because the film isn't in 3D like he was promised, and because Farah promoted the film with SRK.
I think he's just upset that he signed the film in the first place.
It remains to be seen whether Akshay starts promoting on the 27th, if he jumps ship entirely or if he denies the article, but judging by Farah and Shirish's reactions today on twitter one can assume that there is at least some kernel of truth to the whole story.
For now, let us amuse ourselves with:
How NOT To Make A Movie
1. Don't diss one of the biggest stars in the country on the eve of his dream-movie's release on a public platform. Karma is a'.
2. Don't get slapped by him at a party and then go cry to your wife.
3. Don't be a weasel.
4. Don't make a stupid film.
5. Don't piss off the formerly un-piss-offable Akshay Kumar by promising him something that you are not able to deliver.
"Akshay Kumar is someone who would never leave a film incomplete. His past record proves that he has never left a film mid-way. He was creatively dissatisfied with the film as he felt cheated that whatever was promised to him was never delivered. In spite of all this, he completed the film and then decided to distance himself."
6. Don't then make snide tweets about the lead hero of said film (once again on a public platform) even before the film releases, a hero whose fan base is always, always, ALWAYS going to be bigger than yours.
A true leader takes responsibility for his team and leads them through thick and thin. Never abandons them and runs away.
7. Don't make a song called "I Want Fakht You", pretend that it was leaked, feign surprise at why on earth anyone would be offended by those lyrics and then deny that the whole thing was a publicity stunt.
8. Don't make your wife and your bewildered female lead do all the promotional interviews.
9. Don't make aliens out of vegetables. Don't send them to people's houses. A good marketing campaign = doing at least one live TV interview, not hiding in the vegetable garden.
10. Don't block Get Filmy. Or all the other people who might've been willing to give you a chance if you didn't constantly prove yourself to be an insecure douche.
11. Don't apologize for the Ra.One tweet a few days before your own film's release and on the same day that the Akshay article surfaces. It looks bad (see #3 above). Also it looks like maybe you're trying to find favor with SRK because of the Akshay fallout in the same way you ran to Akshay and Salman after the SRK fallout.
I'll always regret one thing' I sincerely apologize for my tweet on Ra.One @iamsrk
12. Don't stress out your wife who has always had impeccable relations with the whole industry. Until she married you.

13. Don't act shady and shifty about your film. You made a film, stand behind it (somewhere other than twitter), be proud of it no matter what the world says. Don't start looking for who you can blame because'it just makes you look like a (you guessed it) weasel.
Joker is my vision' my baby. All blame should only come to me. All credit goes to entire team ofJoker who have put their heart into it.
14. Nice. Did someone tell you to write that after you tweeted that thing about leaders running away?
15. Don't be a weasel. Just. Don't.
BONUS: Your next film is with Salman Khan so you better make very very very very very very sure that you've got your shit together. Because if you piss him off, it's really game over.
