Sanjay Leela Bhansali extends olive branch to Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan finally had a closed door meeting with Sanjay Leela Bhansali after years of acrimony. We are told that the two were discussing the possibilities of doing a film together again after years. Bhansali and SRK have collaborated on only one film till date Devdas during the making of which the two became extremely close, since the film was made in trying circumstances after financer-producer Bharat Shah was jailed.

A source says, “They were discussing possibilities of a film. Whether it will be the Sahir Ludhianvi biopic, which stars Priyanka Chopra, or a fresh film is not known,” says a source. SRK and Priyanka too have fallen out and it is highly unlikely that SRK will work in the Sahir Ludhianvi biopic.

But the filmmaker has decided to not clash with any of SRK’s forthcoming films. These old friends had had a fall out when SRK’s Om Shanti Om clashed with Bhansali’s Saawariya at the box office. The word of mouth destroyed Bhansali’s film and he raved and ranted about SRK. The fight escalated last year when SRK’s Dilwale clashed with Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani.
