Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

Whoever said that camps don’t exist in Bollywood surely doesn’t know what they are talking about or are heavily stoned! ShahRukh Khan the golden boy of the Yash Chopra camp has fallen from grace and the Chopras are hell bent on teaching the King Khan a lesson. Its old news that ShahRukh’s Don and the Chopra’s Dhoom 2 are two of the most anticipated movies and it would make sense if they are not released simultaneously. However according to the latest sources, the Chopras have played dirtied and have verbally booked all the exhibitors of Krrish for their venture. This means that there are very few takers for the King Khans movie which will financially hamper the movie.

So what’s the reason behind this feud? According to sources the two parties have always disagreed on Shah Rukh’s asking price where  in the end ShahRukh  always compromised. However the fact that both Aamir and Kajol were paid their market price for Fanaa didn’t go well with the Bollywood Badshah. He was also thrown out of a Yash Raj film and was replaced by the topless wonder Salman. Looks like ShahRukh is another victim of the growing monopoly of the Yash banner.
