Aamir Khan & Shah Rukh Khan together for Salman Khan

Not many will be aware that filmmaker Raj Kumar Santoshi was about to manage the formidable coup of getting Aamir Khan & Shah Rukh Khan together on the big screen together for the first time in London Dreams.

At that point, it was to be titled Rashque (’jealousy’ in Urdu), which is the film’s underlying sentiment. The two stars are said to have even attended joint narrations.

Both the actors loved the script and wanted to sleep over it before committing themselves. Santoshi is rumoured to have pursued the two superstars relentlessly and even chased alternatives like Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar, before giving up when the casting did not fructify.

As destiny would have it, Salman Khan took London Dreams to filmmaker Vipul A. Shah, who started afresh on the script. The former automatically stepped into Aamir’s shoes while Ajay Devgn was roped in by Shah to step into Shah Rukh’s.

It became another historic coup of sorts as the two stars reunited ten years after featuring together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s smash hit, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

Shahrukh Khan will be enticed by Aamir’s advertising

Shahrukh Khan has been promoting Dish TV for around two years now and he even renewed his contract for another eighteen months.

He being the ambassador of Dish TV, has made so many people buy it. But it seems as if he isn’t very sure of what he’s marketing for himself!

Recently, the satellite seen installed on top of the extension behind Mannat is not Dish TV but the brand that Aamir Khan advertises for.

Usually, if SRK endorses a product, he sticks by it, like his soft drink endorsement or the watches. But this was a huge surprise! Is he by any chance enticed by Aamir’s advertising? Can’t say!

Shah Rukh and Aamir regularly taking potshots at each other

Those who thought that the war between the two superstars, Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, was over after they came together on a common platform for the multiplex issue are actually wrong. On Sunday night, Aamir Khan made another dig at Shah Rukh when he returned to Mumbai after vacationing in France.

An eye witness present at the international airport says, “When Aamir walked in late on Sunday night, he was approached for an interview by a TV reporter. Since Aamir had returned from France, the reporter wanted to know whether, he too, like SRK, was stopped at international airports and interrogated for being a Khan. That’s when Aamir retorted that such checks are a routine matter. He also added tongue-in-cheek that, ‘No one checks me as I am an idiot’, obviously referring to his forthcoming film, 3 Idiots. Then he went on to add that SRK had a problem as he is very intelligent. Aamir’s obvious reference means that the fuss created by SRK about being stopped at the airports was a mere publicity stunt. Now it remains to be seen when SRK will respond.”

This war of words has been raging for long between the two stars, with Shah Rukh and Aamir regularly taking potshots at each other. However, when the film industry got together for the multiplex issue, the two Khans forgetting their differences, came together on the same platform to express their solidarity. But now, again, Aamir’s dig at SRK has set tongues wagging in the film industry about the so-called bonhomie between the two superstars.

Incidentally, Salman Khan had also made similar comments about SRK on the same issue by saying that everyone has to go through these routine security checks at international airports, so what’s the big deal?
