Story goes that Ravi Chopra, who until now was in Sallu's good books has now become his enemy. So much so is the actor miffed with the director that he is not only repeatedly refusing his films but is also declining to meet him.
According to sources, "Chopra has been finding it very difficult to lock in the star cast for two of his upcoming films. One is Kohinoor, to be directed by his son Abhay and the other Pocket-Maar, which he plans to direct himself. The first film was offered to Salman but he didn't like the story and refused it straight up."
The source adds, "Ravi then went to Khan with his second project and was confident that Sallu wouldn't refuse him given their past association. But the actor once again turned him down citing date problems.
Ravi was shocked as the actor had taken time out for Ravi's earlier films even though he had been busy. In the past, Salman not only acted in his films, but also refused to charge him a single penny."
And though the actor's manager cited date problem for Sallu's refusal, sources tell us that it was the fact that Chopra had previously offered those films to Neil Nitin Mukesh and Shahid Kapur that raised Salman's ire.
