Camps in Bollywood are common place. Salman's friends are not close to Shah Rukh Khan and vice versa. Any attempt by any member of such a camp to appease the rival star is seen as a turncoat. TOI has learnt of one such development that is raising eyebrows in tinseltown.
Kunal Kohli is known to be an Aamir loyalist and not particularly close to SRK. In fact, we know that the filmmaker hasn't even met King Khan in a couple of years. But suddenly, his forthcoming movie Break Ke Baad starring Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone, is looking like an unofficial tribute to SRK. Imran is not only mouthing dialogues and matching dance steps that we have seen SRK do and glide into the hearts of billions but Deepika (SRK's find for Om Shanti Om) is also trying to be like SRK in the movie. She even has a dialogue in which she declares that she is like SRK.
Curious, we called on Kunal to find out if he has switched sides. He says, "I know people are saying this because I'm Aamir's friend. The film is about two people who grew up in the times of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil Toh Pagal Hai and some of the memorable romances that SRK has given to the audiences. The characters are inspired by his movies. The film is a tribute to SRK no doubt, but I hope that people are not reading too much between the lines. I am not trying to do a movie with SRK as of now. If the industry is gossiping that I'm trying to win SRK to my side with this movie, I haven't met him in a long time now."
