It seems there's much more to the verbal duel and ceasefire that happened between B-Town's 'good friends' Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan at Maanayata Dutt's birthday bash on Thursday.
Apparently, Sanju is still extremely upset with Sallu.
And to show the Dabaang star that he hasn't forgiven him, Dutt hosted a get-together for Shah Rukh Khan at his house on Sunday night.
"Hrithik Roshan and Arjun Rampal were also invited for it, " divulges a close friend of Dutt. "And Salman had no clue about it."
No invite
A source, who was present when the Thursday incident happened, says, "Salman wasn't invited for the party in the first place.
In fact, Sanju was talking to their common friend, Prashant, to invite him. But when Prashant told him that he was with Salman who was asking why he wasn't invited, Sanju asked Sallu to come over, too."
Apparently, Salman was quite inebriated when he sauntered in with Zarine Khan.
Apart from expressing his disappointment at Sanjay's refusal to play his father in Bodyguard, Salman, it is learnt, was also curt to Maanayata.
"Sallu told her that he won't address her as bhabhi, but by her name, " says the source, adding that Sanju got angry with the way Salman was talking to his wife.
Further, Salman was also rude to Kumar Gaurav. Our source recalls, "Salman told Kumar Gaurav that he had launched new girls into stardom.So he could even give a hit debut to his daughter Saachi. Before things got real ugly, Prashant and Rohit Jugraj escorted him out."
Damage control
Even after the party ended, Sanjay was so angry that he wanted to opt out of Bigg Boss which they are co-hosting. Later, on Friday, when Salman heard about it, he called Sanjay to apologise.
"Even though the deal was signed, it took a lot for Sanjay to not walk out of the show. Moreover it was Salman who had suggested that he and Sanju host the show together, " informs our source.
According to a unit member from the promo shoot at Film City, the atmosphere was tense till afternoon. "However, when Sanju gave Salman a hug, everyone in the unit heaved a sigh of relief."
Meanwhile efforts are on to make everything look hunky-dory between the two stars, but that is not the case it seems. "Sanju is keeping his calm only for the sake of the shows" says the source.
