The Salman Khan-Sanjay Leela Bhansali war of words is most talked about right now.
If you have tuned in late, Salman at a charity event is reported to have said, "Arre, usme (in Guzaarish) toh makhi udd rahi thi, lekin koi machhar bhi nahi gaya dekhne. (In Guzaarish, a housefly was flying around, but not even an insect went to watch the film.)" To this Bhansali has retorted, "If such an old and trusted friend can be so insensitive I don't want anything to do with the entertainment industry."
In the middle of this feud, Hrithik Roshan the protagonist of the movie, chose to comment, "It's not heroic to laugh or make fun of a filmmaker just because his box office collections are not up there with yours. Guzaarish is a super success in its own way. And I will be hurt if anyone talks like this about Mr Bhansali. In my opinion a hero never gloats. When you are super successful, it should in fact make you more gracious and loving."
Question: Will this statement go down well with Salman Khan, who thinks of Hrithik as his younger brother? We aren't so sure. We got a few reactions from a few people on what repurcussions Hrithik and Bhansali's statement could have on their camaraderie with Salman.
This is what they had to say...
Trade analyst Komal Nahata said, "The media takes these so-called 'fights' more seriously than the actors themselves. In this industry, people are known to forgive and forget very easily. It's only a matter of time before Salman and Bhansali, Hrithik become friends again. Also, once a film is released, it becomes public property, and anyone and everyone has the right to comment on it. So what Salman did was not wrong. One should not get touchy about it. It's not like he criticised a movie that is super successful at the box office. 'Guzaarish' is a flop, and all Salman said was that not many people went to watch it, which is true! Salman is known to speak his heart out, and that's what he did! No one should hold it against him."
Salman Khan's brother Arbaaz chose not to comment on the issue. He SMSed, "Sorry, I don't have an opinion on everything or rather I don't comment on everything."
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh is of the opinion that this issue needs to be sorted out behind closed doors and not in the media. "After all they have been good friends once and it's not going to be difficult for them to sit and sort it out across the table. Salman is known the joke around and say things in a lighter vein. He is bindaas. At the same time, Bhansali is overtly sensitive about his movies. Hrithik and Salman, too, have been great friends and it would be fun to watch the two of them in a movie together."
Sameer Malik (30), a working professional, seems unmoved by the drama. "It really doesn't make a difference to my life if actors fight. Salman and Hrithik both are good actors. We are more interested in what they do on screen and in their films. I liked 'Dabangg', i haven't watched 'Guzaarish' but I believe Hrithik is very good in the film."
