Salman and Shahruk together

Shah Rukh Khan, the badshah of bollywood, is all set to feature with the macho man of the industry Salman Khan in a remake of Hollywood’s Tom Cruise starrer ‘Jerry Maguire’ made in 1996. Salman and Shah Rukh Khan finalized the plans about making the remake at the birthday bash of actress Amrita Arora, which was held on January 31. The two superstars were present throughout the night and held a detailed discussion about the project.

Sources say that the project is likely to be made by Salman Khan’s younger brother, Sohail Khan. He has already prepared a bound script of the hit Hollywood flick and had a meeting with a major studio in this regard. Sohail’s plan is to cast Salman Khan in the role of Cuba Gooding Junior while Shah Rukh Khan will essay the part of the ambitious agent. Cuba Gooding Junior’s role was awarded with the best actor trophy at Hollywood Academy Awards in the supporting actor category.

However, before deciding on the future of the remake of Sohail Khan’s ‘Jerry Maguire’, UTV wants to know about the confirmation of dates from Shah Rukh Khan, because the movie is a big budget and they do not want to start anything prematurely. If this project gets underway, this will be after a long time that Salman and Shah Rukh will work together in a bollywood flick. Earlier, they were together in a film ‘ Karan Arjun’ made by Rakesh Roshan and the film was a super duper hit at the box office.

After that relation between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan became bitter to the extent that they stopped talking to each other. This was due to undue interference by Salman on the sets of Shah Rukh Khan’s film ‘ Chalte Chalte’ where Aishwarya Rai was playing the female lead. In those days, Aishwarya and Salman were dating each other and Salman would often go to the shooting sites of the gorgeous lady to meet her. Shah Rukh, obviously, did not like this and the two Khans had a showdown.

The peace returned in the relationship of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan when the duo met on the occasion of director Farah Khan’s Sangeet ceremony in December 2004. Both the actors had good relation with the ace director and did not want to create a scene there. Salman hugged Shah Rukh Khan on the occasion and the decided to forget the past and forgive each other. Since then, the two have maintained a good relationship and Salman Khan had even attended the special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati on a television channel which was being anchored by King Khan.
