SRK offers olive branch to Bhansali?

Tabloids are buzzing with reports that superstar Shahrukh Khan offered an olive branch to friend-turn-foe filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, on Friday night.

As per sources, Sanjay was busy looking after with his special guests, he had invited for the private screening of his latest film 'Guzaarish' at the Yashraj Studios, when he got call from King Khan.

For a moment Sanjay seemed surprised after seeing SRK's number flash on his mobile after two long years, but he recovered quickly and went out to take the call.

As per eye-witnesses, assistant directors, who were standing quite close to Sanjay, were equally surprised when they heard filmmaker almost scream with joy into his phone, "Hi, Shah Rukh."

Sanjay, SRK back on track
Reportedly, the duo chatted away for good 20 minutes before deciding to bid adieu to each other on friendly note for the day.

Sanjay seemed extremely pleased after the call, though refused to tell anyone about his conversation with Shahrukh.

However, he did say, "I can't tell you everything that we spoke. But SRK did say that Devdas was his best and this is our best."

About SRK-Bhansali rift
SRK and Sanjay became friends while shooting for 'Devdas' in 2002.

All was well between the talented duo until the fateful day of Nov. 9, 2007, when SRK'S 'Om Shanti Om' and Sanjay's 'Saawariya' released in theatres.

SRK's film turned out to be a hit, while Bhansali's failed miserably. After this at one of the press events, Shahrukh ended up saying few nasty things about 'Saawariya' and why he thinks it failed.

Bhansali, who was already upset with the failure of his film, felt betrayed, as it was not expected from the person, who calls himself his friend.

Bhansali did not stay silent either and shot back at SRK with his statement, "Gags and jokes at senior actors do not make a film great. Cinema is not about laughing at legends. If we don't do something new, our cinema will become a stagnant pool of gags and jokes masquerading as a masala entertainer."

Since that day, Bhansali and SRK did not even talk to each other.

Rightly said, "All's Well That Ends Well."

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "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

'Every Damn Time,' Tweets Shah Rukh Khan, Detained At US Airport

Movie star Shah Rukh Khan, detained at an airport in the US for questioning again, tweeted on Thursday: "Every damn time!" The 50-year-old actor was detained at the Los Angeles airport this time. A man with the same name is on a US no-fly list of 80,000 people. He took to Twitter to voice his exasperation. I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks. @iamsrk  The brighter side is while waiting caught some really nice Pokemons. @iamsrk  Mr Khan, one of the most successful stars in the Hindi film industry, has been held back at US airports thrice in seven years. American officials tell NDTV that during immigration checks, what pops up is a name without any other detail to help draw a distinction. In April 2012, Mr Khan was held back for over two hours at the airport in New York on a visit to address students at Yale University. He had joked later at Yale: "Whenever I start fee
