Salman Khan takes it out on Ranbir Kapoor on the work front

Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor used to be friends. Not only has that friendship soured, with the repercussions now being seen on the professional front.

Says a source, "There are hushed whispers in the industry that SK is sending feelers to his producer friends like Bhushan Kumar and Sajid Nadiadwala not to cast RK for their films."

Whether the producers heed Sallu's request is yet to be seen. But one reckons Khan won't let Kapoor get away with his "indiscretion".

A source sheds light on the indiscretion. "It all began when the Katrina Kaif-RK affair started. But Sallu refused to believe there was any truth to it.

Ranbir's recent statement to a news channel that he was never dating Kat irked Khan. It is believed that this has hurt Kaif.

Salman might not be with the actress anymore but he is still protective of her and cannot see her upset. He neither forgives nor forgets. He has decided to teach the youngster a lesson."

NEW, PLEASE

The buzz is that Ranbir wants to steer clear of Katrina for a while. He's been recommending newcomers and is more than willing to work with fresh faces. Both Rockstar and Burfi have Nargis Fakhri and Ileana D'Cruz who make their debut in Bollywood.

OLD LINKS

A few years ago, Salman had a fight with Ranbir Kapoor at a nightspot. But it was a case of letting bygones be bygones after RK made his debut in Saawariya which also starred Khan. Sallu considered him to be a pal. But this equation has now changed.
