Looks like the ugly spat between Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan is creating a ripple effect, which is splitting the film fraternity in a way. Sources reveal that industrywallahs are finding themselves in a tight spot as they don’t know which party to show their allegiance to.
The after effects of the SRK-Salman showdown at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party was visible recently when the Eros Pictures’ team (co-producers of Drona) and director
Goldie Behl sat down to list the invitees for the film’s premiere (starring Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra). "There was a heated argument between Goldie and delegates from Eros Pictures when they were discussing whom to invite for the special screening of the film," reveals a source.
The insider adds, "Eros had SRK on top priority since their relationship goes back a long way. Eros is also distributing SRK’s home production Billoo Barber. Goldie, on the other hand, had Salman on his priority list, which made the Eros team very apprehensive. They did not want the two stars to collide again, specially during the premiere."
"Goldie wanted to invite everyone including Salman since he is very close to him and also because Abhishek and Salman have bonded well recently. But, Eros was little sceptical about how things would turn out. Obviously, they did not want to rub SRK the wrong way. They had a long heated discussion post which it was decided that no one would be dropped from the guest list. So, Eros is inviting SRK and Goldie is taking care about sending an invitation to Salman."
However, when contacted, both Eros and Goldie denied this debate. A spokesperson from Eros said, "These rumours are completely baseless. There was no such argument between the two concerning invitees for the Drona premiere."
Goldie’s answer to our query was short. "I’m not aware of any such an incident that you say has happened between us."
