There was a palpable tension in the air yesterday evening at Filmistan Studios in Goregaon. Friends-turned-foes Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan were there shooting for their respective projects.
Nothing happened. The units on both sets expected a confrontation that never took place. The warring actors kept to their vans.
Says a source, "Salman has been shooting for Atul and Alvira Agnihotri's Bodyguard for the last few days in Filmistan on the the third floor. SRK began shooting on the first floor.
Sallu was shooting a crucial scene and so SRK's entry had everyone on the Bodyguard sets on tenterhooks."
It's a known fact that the two actors haven't made their peace since a feud that began at Katrina Kaif's birthday party three years ago.
Adds the source, "It was all fun for the Bodyguard unit and the shoot was moving along smoothly. SRK's visit made them go
into a tense huddle though shooting continued as normally as before. No-one knew how Salman would react to his dushman
being in the vicinity."While it is known that Sallu's sisters-in-law, Seema and Malaika are still friends with SRK, it is lesser known that Atul and Alvira are very close to King Khan too.
"Atul and SRK's friendship goes way back. It was expected that Shah Rukh would drop in to meet Atul on the sets, " notes the source.
That didn't happen. "SRK would leave his van and just go to the studio and shoot as would Salman, who is otherwise known to sit outside his van chatting with his friends and people who drop in to meet him.
The Bodyguard unit finally heaved a sigh of relief after Shah Rukh left around midnight."
