It`s now final: the Shah Rukh Khan-Juhi Chawla business partnership is over for good. Problems between the two came to a head over their divergent perceptions of Juhi`s salability as an actress.
While post-pregnancy, Juhi has been keen to make a comeback with films produced by her own banner, Shah Rukh has stalled all moves to pair him with the over-the-hill actress.
For Shah Rukh`s next home production, Aishwarya Rai has already been penciled in, leaving Juhi twiddling her thumbs. Her immediate future now hinges on the fate of the upcoming Jhankar Beats, former journalist Sujoy Ghosh`s directorial debut. If the film clicks, even on a limited scale, it could revive Juhi`s declining fortunes and force Shah Rukh to have a fresh look at her.
