No war between Amitabh and Shah Rukh, it’s just a publicity stunt
There is no cold war between Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, and this comes from the horse’s mouth… i.e. Abhishek Bachchan.
Talking to an Indian newspaper, Abhishek was asked about his family’s relationship with Shah Rukh Khan. To which he replied, “Shah Rukh is like an elder brother. I respect him immensely. We have worked together in Karan Johar’s Kabhie Alvida Na Kehna. My mother and he have worked in Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gum and in Kal Ho Na Ho. So I fail to understand why the media keeps saying that there is a problem between us. My mother is also very close to Shah Rukh and calls him her elder son. Shah Rukh will always be there for our family.”
This interview comes in the midst of rumours about Shah Rukh secretly calling up Jaya Bachchan and giving her support, most notably during her recent troubles with the MNS. “Shah Rukh has been in touch with Jayaji all through; he also calls Jayaji because he maintains she is like his mother,” says an insider.
So this brings us to the question: Is the war between Shah Rukh and Amitabh a gimmick to gain publicity?
What are your thoughts… do you believe that there is no war between the two and they are just using the media as puppets to gain further popularity and more publicity for their films… is Shah Rukh Khan, as Abhishek says, part of the Bachchan family and a big brother to him… or do you think Abhishek is just talking rubbish to generate more interest in his next film Drona… whatever your thoughts we would love to read them… please use the comments section below to send them to us and fellow readers.

I saw the Amitabh Bachhcan classic “Deewar” last night.
The film has blown my mind! The scene at the end has to be one of the most moving scenes in indian motion history!
Its almost laughable that he is being compared to SRK…how insulting…
Watch DEEWAR and you will see why AB is the greatest ever actor…
Acting at its very best.!
FAZ.
