It seems that taking potshots at your fellow Bollywood colleagues has become something of a norm in the industry. Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan have been doing it for ages, Bollywood actresses do it almost 4 times a day, and even the respectable Aamir Khan got down to slate a legend or two last month. They say this is all done deliberately for promoting a film… and promotion is what makes or breaks a film. But, we have never seen potshots and insults being fired during the film… i.e. within the film… or have we…
If you have managed to get yourself to the cinema to watch Ajay Devgan in Halla Bol, then you might have seen the actor’s character bad-mouthing Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. The film is a journey of a Bollywood actor (Sameer Khan played by Ajay Devgan). In the film, Sameer Khan’s secretary pokes fun at a ‘Khan’ who is to dance at LN Mittal’s daughter’s wedding… this is something that Shah Rukh and Saif Ali Khan have done in real life. There is also mention, in passing, of a ‘Khan’ who is cheating on his wife.
Now insiders have said that both Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan are not happy with how they have been shown or depicted in Halla Bol. Both actors believe that Ajay Devgan has himself put these dialogues in the script of the movie, deliberately, to express his feelings towards them. The film’s director Rajkumar Santoshi has gone on record to say that the dialogues were part of the script from day-one and Ajay Devgan had no input.
What are your thoughts on this sensational story coming out of Bollywood? Do you feel that actors such as Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan are right to complain about how they are being depicted in this film? Do you believe that it was Ajay Devgan, who has always had reservations about the Khans, who got these dialogues put in the script of the film? If you have seen the film, do you think these scenes and dialogues enhance the film or could they have been done without? With last year’s mega-hit Om Shanti Om making fun of Bollywood actors left right and centre, is it now time for movies being used to express opinions?

i will say one thing. ask Shahruk/AAmir to watch the movie. then they will come to know.
that they can not act like ajay in this movie. it is beyond their Capacity. Noone can replace ajay here.
what a tremondous acting and this movie is far better than Rang de Basanti..
shahrukh and aamir are real khans they will finishl ajay if he did any thing wrong every one know that pathans are very nice with nice ppl but extremely bad with bad ppl.ajay so better not to tease them and wht a rubbish movie is halla boll its rubbish
ajay devgan the is jelous of the khans popularity and their earning crores of money.i mean wats wrong with earning money dancing in weddings,when u can earn dancing in stage shows why not in weddings. kalu devgan beware.
ajay devgan cant dance thats why this jealous is attacking legends like shahrukh and aamir.he is jealous cause his own wife kajol makes a better pair with both shahrukh and even aamir in fanaa.
Ajay is right. And he has all the rights to say this. Poor guy, who else can say this. Both Amir and SRK have slept around. Ajay is the only one to say this……………….
He must have seen something…. LOL
I want to say on think to kashif,Joe… I love you guys for what you said.
to comment on this ajay can act, boy can’t he dannce. Shahrukh and aamir is way betterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr than ajay and he is not even close to them.
like I saw a new promo from ajay and kajol movie and i see not chemistry between them, all I saw was two people
Ajay Devgan can’t act, And he looks awkward dancing and singing and just everything
just my opinion so all you ajay fans can disagree

oh I had to edit my last comment
oh its me again
don’t don’t don’t compare om shanti om with Halla Bol. Om shanti was totally different. oso had scenes where they made fun of other actors and the makers themselves but it was like everyone who was a part of it was in on it but with Halla Bol, its like its just Ajay.
I think he dislike srk and the main reason is because of the onscreen chemistry(which is something ajay and kajol don’t have)between srk and kajol and also because they are good friends off screen.
But them again I could be totally wrong
I think he is just jealoussss of srk and aamir but mostly Shahrukh.
I loveeeee you shahrukh
This is all made up by the media, I am sure these KHANS will ignore it. They are not that short tempered or * small hearted * KHANS, that they will start a HALLA BOL, and I am very very sure that AJAY DEVGAN will not do it himself either. Its not believable at all. Someone is trying to amuse himself + others as well, and want to sell it like a hot cake. Ajay is a decent person, on his side he won’t do it. And just look KAJAL Mrs Ajay ) has been invited at SHAH RUKH KHAN’s place for BABY SHOWER CEREMONY. So, guys, just don’t jump, let media create some GARAM MASALA for themselves. Ok. and before you all start the debates, first just see who, who will be involved, these STARS will not take any notice or may be take light notice of it, so don’t waste your time. Thanks.
So what – It’s ok for SRK to take the pi$$ out of senior actors and Aamir to take potshots at Bachchan but when Ajay highlights real practice in Bollywood [casting couch; snipping rivals roles; double standards etc.] they can’t take offence.
Agar khila sakte ho, kabhi kabhi khaana bhi padta hai…
the simple truth is ajay is jelous of shahrukh and aamir.. mainly shahrukh because of kajol. ajay devgan does not have the looks, charisma ot style to be a bollywood actor. theres nothing about him that is admirable. on the other hand shahrukh and aamir are both international public figures and loved my mostly everyone. xxx
i suppose Ajay may have issues with SRK because of the chemistry he has with Kajol !!! Also Amir is a good quailty actor and has alot of pride.. maybe the jealousy is hitting Ajay!
Ajay is one of thetp actors even amitabh admire
SRk – i never consider him actor … he is just play srk everywhere.
Aamir is a good actor but in intense scenes you have to agree Ajay holds the key -After all Acting has many flavours .. see akshay kumar timing is far better than any other actor
i hope you all agree……as acting has 9 different flavours — so its difficult to judge
After watching OSO i think SRK should be banned – what pathetic acting he did – total crap OSO
i saw Welcome from anees bazmee which overtook OSO by a big margin is somewhat better than OSO
SRk should be banned …. TZP rocks and Ajay Also rocks with aamir….SRk learn from them how to act ????
reman? dude r u in drugs ?? srk is one name take the whole bollywood to a different level. be a lover and appreciate the work. why do you think the whole world is crazy about this guy (SRK)? acting is not a easy job and every actor is deserving candidate including ajay, akshay.. but when it comes to compition..its always been srk and always will be and those r not my word!!! this is the world verdict exception of haters…
srk —love you always
When oso can critisize kapoors and senior actors then i think hallabol can do it too.Y now people get offensive but were ok with oso
Ajay Devagan has every right to poke fun at whomsoever he wishes too. This is a free country and nobody should feel that they are some sort of God. SRK is no big shakes but just a mafia backed actor. He will always have funds for contracting the best directors, music directors, co-atists even if he churns out flops. And by the law of averages some of those movies will turn out to be hits. SRK cant act and is not good looking. In Om Shanti Om he pokes fun at Rajesh Khanna, Manoj Kumar, Amitabchan, Abisheck and Hrithik Roshan. I wish all actor start poking fun at this Hanuman look alike.
As for Ajay pokin fun at Aamir Khan, I think he did that so as to not be seen taking pot shots at SRK only.
Whatever is there in the movie i am sure Ajay has not done it on prupose its just a part of the script…..and by the way Ajay has a class and is far better than Srk……..Amir is also an admirable actor…….there is no match between Srk and Ajay even between Amir and Srk…….
Ajay Devgan zindabad!!!!!!!!
I dont know why they angry upon AD.Why srk did not remember what he did in oso about Manoj Kumar Saheb.Ptahns bhaad mein jaaye and dont forget we are the masters in every field.ok
pls dont take all this in religion wise and take it is all media michieves.pls ignore all thes stuffs and enjoy watch movies.im a gr8 fan of Amir also
This is all shit!
Media are just trying to create a controversy around Halla Bol.
Anyway,all these are part of Bollywood..
SRk,Aamir,and Ajay all know the the tricks of the game..
However,we cannot compare Ajay with Srk since Srk is god compared to ajay.Srk’s acting skills are unmatchable-we all know it!
To boot,Aamir is much better than ajay.Ajab devgan is good but not good enough to be compared to aamir or SRK!

Ajay Devgan has won a National Award, SRK to this day has not.
This proves that AJAY DEVGAN is a better actor.
All other awards are pathetic. The true film awards in india are the NATIONAL AWARDS when every cinema is taken into accout (hindi, tamil, telegu, benagali, malayalam)
I thik Ajay Devgan has got 2 national awards not sure..
take it easy shahrukh & amir. if you did something ashamed of then you have to take the criticism. there is no other way. I remember when salman cheated with ash some of you made fun of him too. so it’s your time to be made fun of. you know everything comes back.
for me it doesn’t matter who is better actor, the thing matters is, who is a better person. if ajay did these intentionally then he is not a better person either.
Ajay Flopgan Is a FLOPMASTER, Thats Why He Hates Seniors Like SRK n Aamir.
National Award is the joker of the awards!
They gave Amitabh best actor for Black in 2007,but there is only one problem THE MOVIE WAS RELEASED IN 2005!What a joke!!Please tell me an award that does something like this in the world??
as far as i remember ajay is senior then srk
WHAT i think ajay is way better than all of this actor
and i agree with bikash no one can act better than ajay in this movie, i hope he gets lucky i think khans are very lucky srk acting is getting in my nerves he always act the same he should do something different,and i love ajay’s acting he is the best
KingKhan the national awards are critcially acclaimed it doesnt matter when you get them.
Ask any actor in india which award he would cherish the most, it would be the NATIONAL AWARD!
SRK would love to get a national award but the problem being, he would need to ACT and not play SRK in every film…
So i cant see that happening….
Maybe he will get it for CHAK DE, but then again AAMIR KHAN is there in front of him.
Also all the other actors from other industries…tamil, telugu, bengali, etc etc…
Cant see him winning it ever…
Bonita, if you really think that Ajay cant act then I’m really sorry to have to point it out to you that you do NOT know the meaning of the word “acting”! Ha!His acting is phenominal and that’s COMMON knowledge and he’s internationally recognized. And anyway Shah Rukh and Aamir’s “attempts” at dancing is pathetic.
Ajay can’t act shit, don’t know why this ugly actor with his more uglier teeth is a actor in Bollywood. Even villains like Inder kumar are better of.
Ajay is the flopmaster, the true king of flops. Ask your self, if he can act, why does his films flop. I will tell, this man is a negative character, he can’t handle the success of the Khans. Especially SRK’s succes. He can’t see Kajol and the King together, because he knows SRK has already rocked Kajol a long time ago and she still wants more. SRK and Kajol, thats who the people wants to see, not Flopmaster with Kajol.
I better can’t act and have a lot of succes and money, than be a great actor who’s films flop again and again.
So wurse that even Kajol has to act again (fanaah) to bring the maoey home,
shame on you, you rascalla hahahaha.
SRK, Aamir, Akshay forever, the three real Kings.
i think ajay is right, bcoz it iz a common practice to do so .. u can c om shanti om insulting seniors.
so aamer n SRK SHUD NOT BECOME ANGRY 4 DIS. I THINK AJJAY iz not jeolous of both,bcoz he iz differnt actor .SRK alwayz acts same ,nothing diffense.aamer iz a gud actor.
ajay iz very serious actor.
i think these 3 r best in industry, so they shud live 2gether and 4 industry n country
calm down guys.
this is just publicity for the movie halla bol, so they could bring in audiences to see the movie, nothing more nothing less.
as it stands today, halla bol is the first flop of 2008, that is why they have decided on this publicity false publicity so audience can go watch the movie and the movie will be a hit.
when will you public clowns ever learn??????
I said it earlier too, that raj kumar santoshi is nothing without Sunny Deol, the man who made him.
Sunny gave him, ghayal, damini, and ghatak three smash hits at the time, and ever since santoshi has stopped working with Sunny, or vice versa… santoshi has only given flops as director.
Santoshi my advice is, dump devgan and sign on Sunny Deol you will gurantee a hit.
Sunny also has two national awards, although he deserved two more for ghatak best peformance ever, and for GADAR. (the biggest hit in the history of Indian Cinema).
so guys relax and publicity never will work for a flop movie, thats all.
To amjad!
I want to see oscar award giving an actor best actor after his movie was released 2 years ago!Because those who hates SRK,calls this award Bollywoods Oscar!That award have to compromise cause it is not only bollywood stars!one year they giv to a bollywood star and next year they give to a non bollywood star!The funny part is srk did not got it for KHKN in 93,swades in 2004!The funny part is even ajay,sonny deol won a national award but not King Khan!Thats why i consider this award a joke!Aamir did not won for Lagaan in 2001 come on now,if sunny and ajay can act better than aamir and srk!I am still laughing
While I don’t know how Aamir is truly taking the comments within the movie, I question whether SRK is upset over them. He’s known for having a very good sense of humor and he’s had far worse “insults” upon him in the past, both in movies and in print. This is minor and, as someone else put it, all just publicity for a movie that’s not making a huge mark at the box office at the moment.
Amjad…Are you on drugs man?
Or have you been fussing with your eyes lately?
Man,go get a life!!!!
How can anybody even compare devgan with SRK????
Buddy,you’ve got to be kidding!!!!
SRK is king,devgan is…well,just devgan.
SRK always played the lover boy in his films and he is the best at it!
That was true until he did swades..which silenced his critics for some time..
His acting was magic in swades and some people could not bear it!Now,what criticisms were left to be flung at him??nope,nil..Everybody was silent..
Then came Chak de!India…
Well well well..He did his role as kabir khan with near perfection.
And believe me amjad..Great actors like srk always become award winners..and one day he will receive a national award,that i can ascertain!!!!
You know very well that srk is a much better actor than ajay is,as well as every one else here!!!!!!
so buddy,just go get a life!
There are few good actors in bollywood..
Big B,SrK,nana patekar,naseeruddin shah,hritik Roshan,Akshay kumar and aamir khan are really good!
Others like devgan,sunny deol,abhishek and the new faces are shit!
Kids go home.
Abeh I am also an actor . There 2 ways at looking at acting – a commercial success and ART
Ajay is a far better actor as far as Acting and Art is concerned
SRK is an idot – rahul raj all th time …..Crap he should be banned from the industry. Its not disliking but talking it as a part of Acting
I am muslim but still saying Ajay and Aamir are natioanl award winner — IS SHAHRUKH has any
In filmfare he purchase awards you can see right from the bazigar and that’s the reason every top actor boycotted Filmfare ….aamir, akashay , ajay ,salman
SRK is a crap and should be banned …….Its all hype –and publicity for SRK and zero acting skills
His younger brother karan is always on koffee with karan to promote SRK .. he is not doing chat show but that is also a part of SRK PR excercise
can’t you all see that — one question is common in all the chat shows
WHo is a king khan a) SRK b) Aamir c) Salman
and everybody has to answer forcebly SRK – if not they will not be a part of his film nor show afterthat
Ban KJ and SRK they are jerks
guys better u all grow up, awaken n get 2 a life! da ugly n joker faced shahrukh ls a businesman but ajay is real actor
chill..guys .. u all seem EXTREMELY angry…lolzz…. i wont side any1 .. they all r gud actors…and v have NO rite 2 compare 1 to another!.. ITS NOT FAIRRR!!.. SRK…AJAY …AND AMIR…all r gud!!….i think its just da media creating problems and showing us whtzzz nottt TRUEEE!!..
I think Ajay Devgan should leave acting.
His movies r completely disaster.First he should learn
acting.And who the hell are comparing AD with SRK and
Aamir. one is d king and other is the ace of bollywood..
So please do not compare ajay with srk and aamir coz
its a big insult to them(srk and aamir).
Ajay is far better actor than srk & aamir.Face does not deceide who is better.
Well…once ajay devgan had criticized and sarcastically laughed over SRK for doing ads (remember those days..none of A-listers wud do ads fearing so much on tv wud hamper their profile)….and then few years later, whirlpool ads wid kajol hit the screen….he cud hve gone with more but poor chap cudnt get one….
all his acting prowess is limited to be on screen with long face…same old same old gangajal stuff….
Ajay D….grow up
