Shahrukh, Amitabh at loggerheads?

Bhoothnath brings together the two supremos -- Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan - after a short hiatus. In between, rumours were flying left, right and centre about the tension between them and that they weren't interested in working with each other anymore.

Before we forward Ravi Chopra's clarification on the issue, let's bring to you another interesting facet pertaining to the film, which many would be unaware of. Initially, director Vivek Sharma was toying with the idea of making a small film, but when he narrated the subject to Chopra, the producer insisted that they approach Bachchan Sr. for the role in question. However, Bachchan Sr. wasn't keen on doing the film. Reason being, he wasn't too sure of Vivek's abilities. But when he eventually agreed to act in the film, his only condition was Ravi Chopra should be present on the sets on all days. Later, when Bachchan became fond of Vivek and realized that the director had the spark, there were no issues absolutely.

Ask Ravi Chopra if he sensed any kind of tension between the two actors (Bachchan, SRK) and the veteran filmmaker denies it completely, "Not at all! In fact, they would play games and enjoy each other's company during breaks. I'd love to work with them again and again." That should silence the gossip mills!
