Amitabh not to attend Shahrukh's Party
It is known to all that Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan are not great buddies and they were sharing cold vibes during the days of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Shahrukh even showed his hatred for the Bachchan family at the filmfare events by cutting derogatory jokes against Amitabh for not inviting industry friends at Ash-Abhi’s wedding. And Amitabh too reverted back by not attending Karan Johar birthday bash specially organized by Shahrukh Khan, Gauri and Kajal Anand at Juhu.
Though Amitabh, Jaya stayed away, beta Abhishek and bahu Aishwarya attended the party. The other guests at Karan’s party included Arjun Rampal, Harman Baweja, Priyanka Chopra, Chunkey Pandey (with wife Bhavna Pandey), Maheep Kapoor, Ritesh Deshmukh, Farhan Akhtar and others. Abhi and Ash left early to catch the next party thrown by Ashutosh Gowariker in celebration of Jodhaa Akbar completing 100 days along with Jaya, Amitabh, while others partied till the wee hours in the morning.
Apart from the Bachchan family, Ashutosh’s party was attended by the Roshans (Rakesh, Hrithik, Suzzane), Kunal Kohli, Madhur Bhandarkar, Ram Mirchandani, Ronnie Screwvala, and Vipul Shah. The incident clearly indicates that the Bachchans and Shahrukh are still on bad terms.
Shahrukh Vs Aamir
Not so much by design as by default, Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan are on a collision course.So much has been happening between Aamir and Shahrukh in last few months, with Aamir claiming to be the numero uno in Bollywood and SRK humbly accepting the second spot. The good-natured banter between the two took a somewhat ugly turn when Aamir wrote a blog about having a smelly, attention-seeking dog named Shahrukh.
While the two stars claim there is no animosity between them, the competition between the two certainly seems to be heating up.
For Aamir’s upcoming film Ghajini (Hindi) is set to clash with SRK’s next release Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi . But the clash seems more by coincidence than by deliberation.
Initially, ‘Ghajini’ was set to release in October. But then Aamir sustained a hamstring injury while doing a stunt scene and the film’s shooting had to be postponed.
Now, it is learnt that the film will be delayed in its release by over two months. Reports say Aamir is considering a year-end release of the film – December 12, which, coincidentally also happens to be the day when the SRK-starrer ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ will hit the marquee.
Industry insiders believe that if the clash does happen, it will be a very tough battle because ‘Rab Ne’ being Aditya Chopra ’s comeback film as a director has already generated tremendous curiosity among movie buffs. On the other hand, fans are eagerly waiting to see Aamir Khan in action again after the superhit Taare Zameen Par .
“It would be a clash of Bollywood titans,” says a trade analyst.
