Are Salman Khan and Shah Rukh heading for a truce? Well, we hear, with the release of ‘Veer' just around the corner, Salman is indulging in garnering social niceties with his long time rival Shah Rukh Khan.

News has it that when Salman saw the rushes of SRK's ‘My Name Is Khan', the temperamental star called up Karan Johar and congratulated him. The compliment was returned rather promptly by SRK, who, at a recent award function, minced no words to praise Salman's upcoming film Veer, adding that he was looking forward to watch the flick.

According to sources, "Salman was the first to extend the olive branch by calling Karan after watching the promos of My Name Is Khan and SRK returned it by praising Veer. They had both come face to face for the first time after the 3 Idiots premiere. "

Meanwhile, when enquired Karan Johar, the director confirmed the news and said, "Yes, Salman did call to say he loved the promos and the look of the film. I appreciate the feedback. It was very gracious of him. I have worked Salman in my first film and have a great amount of respect for him and his family. "
