In a shocking development, Farah Khan is slowly distancing herself from her best buddy and 'rakhi brother'. Recently, Farah announced that her next directorial venture,...
Tees Maar Khan, would star Shah Rukh's arch rival Akshay Kumar who will also produce the film along with Farah's husband Shirish Kunder.
Buzz is that Farah signed Akshay because she was upset with Shah Rukh for making her re-write Happy New Year three times and turning down husband Shirish's Joker.
When contacted Farah tried her best to downplay the incident, "Everyone knows the bond that Shah Rukh and I share. I respect and adore him but I have to be there for my husband. Today Shirish needs my support and he is family." Didn't Farah call Shah Rukh family in the past; after all he gave her away to Shirish at their wedding!
Farah clarified that her casting Akshay hasn't spoiled her relationship with SRK, "Everything is fine between SRK and me. I informed him much ahead that I was signing Akshay and he has wished me all the luck. He even offered any help that I'd need."
Farah may try hard to convince the world and herself that things are good between Shah Rukh and her, but industry insiders say that war lines have been drawn. An extremely reliable source reveals, "Shah Rukh asked Farah to re-write Happy New Year thrice. He also announced that in 2010 he would be focusing on his home productions Ra1 and Don 2. Farah felt that Shah Rukh was only delaying her film and he was never interested in doing it. A disillusioned Farah then offered the film to Akshay who gladly jumped on board."
Shah Rukh's constant disapproval of Shirish is, reportedly, one of the main reasons for Farah's dismay. A source close to Farah reports, "Each time Shirish would offer a film to SRK, he would be asked to rework it and this would upset Shirish and Farah."
A once permanent guest at all Mannat events, these days Farah is rarely seen at SRK's parties and is reportedly also distancing herself from SRK's clique. An industry source tells, "Farah realises that to be a smart businesswoman she needs to be friends with everyone. She therefore needs to be in the good books of all the top actors. She cannot afford to be known as SRK's exclusive director as that was crippling her, so she invited Salman Khan to open her first talk show which was an astounding success. Sources say this annoyed SRK as Salman is his arch rival."
Shah Rukh is reportedly livid with Farah. He gave Farah her directorial break, and has a done a lot for her so naturally her joining hands with Salman and now Akshay, has angered him. Shah Rukh hasn't publicly commented on the Akshay-Farah tie-up but, one wonders if this is just the calm before the storm…Source: Khaleejtimes
