The word is that Bhushan Kumar and his uncle Kishen Kumar are headed for a split. Apparently Kishen has set up his own banner and is all set to produce a film, independently and not as a part of T Series.

Looks like the guy is ultimately fed up of remaining in the shadow of his nephew!

The film 'Paris' will be produced by both Kishen and his wife Tanya. It is a romantic saga which will be shot in France and will roll out next year. The film's cast hasn't been finalized as yet.

It's being directed by Prem Soni, who is also directing 'Main Aur Mrs Khanna' with Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor.

It seems that they decided to make the move when Bhushan's wife Divya was made the creative head of T Series. She has been directing music videos and also providing creative inputs to the various directors working under their banner.

This must have made the pair a little insecure and the couple decided to launch their own production house. But in order to avoid any form of controversy they have denied that there is a rift with the mother company.

The word is that this project will be seen as Tanya's baby, while Bhushan and Kishen will continue to collaborate together under the T Series banner.

It will be interesting to note what direction this rift takes!
