Will it be 3 Idiots vs My Name is Khan?

It is now official that Aamir and Shah Rukh, the two reigning Khans of Bollywood, have a love-hate relationship.

The two love to take digs at each other publicly and then blame the media and the fans for blowing their spats out of proportion, and yet they are also capable of coming together and sharing a stage when it comes to a serious issue like the producers' strike.

The latest in their turbulent friendship is that Aamir Khan reportedly wants his next film 3 Idiots to clash with the SRK starrer My Name is Khan.

According to sources, Rajkumar Hirani, the director of 3 Idiots, is not keen to take on the intimidating trio of SRK, Kajol and Karan Johar, especially since this is the long awaited on-screen reunion of SRK and Kajol, easily one of Bollywood's best loved couples.

However, Aamir is determined, and sources even say that he may have deliberately taken a holiday with his kids in order to delay the film.

The big question is, why is Aamir so keen to clash with this movie? Is it because of the Diwali release, or is it because of his fond memories of getting one-up on Shah Rukh at the end of 2008, when Ghajini broke all box office records, leaving behind an otherwise successful Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

"It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
