Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

Hell hath no fury like a superstar scorned! If rumors are to be believed then Shahrukh didn’t forget his argument with Vidhu Vinod Chopra which has led him to walk out of Rajkumar Hirani’s next directorial venture.

A source close to SRK says, “Shah Rukh might have an image of being a friend in the industry but when someone tries to cross him, he knows how to get back.

It is a known fact that Shah Rukh offered to produce Raju’s film that is based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel, Five Point Someone.

“It is a known fact that Vidhu is very possessive about his directors. Vidhu didn’t take SRK’s move too kindly and shot off a letter to express his stance. Shah Rukh sat on the letter for over four months and has finally made his move now.”

SRK then chose to meet Hirani and adds the source, “At the meeting Shah Rukh convinced Hirani to float his own banner. The first film that the director will make will be a joint venture with Shah Rukh’s Red Chillies. But prior to this, Hirani will finish Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Idiot, which stars Aamir Khan and Kajol. The film goes on the floors this year-end.”
