Aamir Khan's joke on SRK lands 'Delhi Belly' in trouble

Looks like barbs and pot-shots between the Khans of Bollywood aren't going to see an end anytime soon, at least not in the coming days.

After Salman Khan taking a dig at his frenemies Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan in his home-production 'Chillar Party', it's Aamir Khan, who has walked on the same path. However, unlike Salman, little did the star know that his gag would land him in a big mess.

Apparently, the joke made on the star hasn't gone down well with a leading automobile brand, which is now planning to take the producers to court.

In the film, Imran Khan's character Tashi gets a red car by his would-be in-laws. On seeing the car, which strongly resembles like a Santro, one of his friend comments, "When a donkey mates an auto rickshaw, you get a car like this."

If sources are to be believed, the joke was pre-planned and was intended to take a direct dig at arch-rival Shahrukh Khan., who happens to be the brand ambassador of the automobile company.

Though, the car was modified and the branding was removed in the film sequence, it was quite evident from the picture that which brand was it. And now, the automobile brand is planning to issue a legal notice to the film's production house, director and producer to remove the scene.

When confronted, other sources from the unit maintained that it was just a funny situation in the movie, that wasn't meant to target any particular brand.

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
