The two actors never came together in a film due to reported differences between them over the climax of "Hum Dil..." which showed Ajay uniting with the movie's leading lady Aishwarya Rai.
According to reports, it was Salman who took the initiative of ending the cold war by inviting Ajay for lunch when he was shooting for "Benaam" at Filmistan studio here. Salman too was shooting at the same studio for his forthcoming release "Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya".
It will be interesting to know what roles Santoshi has in mind for the two super performers. The film's lead heroine is yet to be finalised.
