No, there is no friction between Shah Rukh Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali . It is just that their movies are set for a big clash in November.
Come Diwali, there would be a big dhamaka at the box-office. For slated to release on November 9 is Shah Rukh Khan’s home production Om Shanti Om and Sanjay Bhansali’s next movie Saanvariya .
While the release date of ‘Saanvariya’ was announced by the movie’s distributors Sony a year back, Shah Rukh is also keen to cash on Diwali period with ‘Om Shanti Om’, which is directed by good friend Farah Khan .
But a clash means loss of business for either or both these films. Shah Rukh’s film ‘OSO’ has big stars while ‘Saanvariya’ has two newcomers Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor . But a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film is bound to pull people to the theatres regardless of the cast.
To avoid the clash, SRK and Bhansali are said to be in talks. They will meet together soon and decide how the clash could be averted as none wants either of the films to suffer.
Last year, SRK’s Don had released on the same day as Salman Khan’s Jaaneman during Diwali weekend. While ‘Don’ excelled over ‘Jaaneman’, neither of the two films actually proved to be a big hit.
