Shahrukh-Ajay rivalry over

Guess who brought the long-time foes together?

Shah Rukh Khan

For years, the industry was abuzz with rumours that Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn couldn’t see eye to eye. Though Ajay’s wife Kajol is one of SRK’s closest friends, the actor himself always maintained a distance from the superstar though the two had always denied any problems between them.

But now it seems the cold war is actually over and the two stars might end up becoming friends! And the person responsible for the thaw is none other than Ajay’s best friend, director Rohit Shetty.

Apparently, Rohit, who gave Ajay’s career a new lease of life with hits like the ‘Golmaal’ franchise and ‘Singham’, decided to offer the lead role of his new project to SRK. Ajay couldn’t commit to the role as he was busy shooting for other movies such as ‘Son of Sardar’ and Sajid Khan’s untitled project. So, when Rohit asked Ajay if he could work with SRK instead, the latter instantly said yes.

It’s said that when SRK was informed about Ajay’s generosity, he was taken aback. But being equally gracious, he asked the director if the rights of the remake of the 1982 classic ‘Angoor’ that he held with Rohit could be given to Ajay.

At a time when even friendly stars fight for pricey roles, it’s great to see this gesture from SRK and Ajay. We approve!
