Yash
Chopra
and
Karan
Johar
can't
make
their
films
without
Shahrukh
Khan.
Anees
Bazmee,
Vipul
Shah
and
Sajid
Khan
swear
by
Akshay
Kumar.
Papa
Roshan
works
mainly
with
beta
Roshan.
Mahesh
Bhatt
and
Co.
know
that
it
is
Emraan
Hashmi
who
delivers
most
when
it
comes
to
their
medium
budget
films.
Sanjay
Gupta
and
Sanjay
Dutt
used
to
be
a
team
till
there
was
a
crack
in
their
friendship.
Aamir
Khan
works
in
well,
a
camp
which
is
owned,
driven
and
managed
by
only
one
man
-
Aamir
Khan.
And
then
there
is
Salman
Khan
who
works
with
anyone
and
everyone
depending
upon
which
side
of
the
bed
he
wakes
up
one
fine
morning.
So
what
happens
when
someone
is
'accused'
of
penetrating
his
way
into
a
camp?
A
camp
which
has
delivered
two
mega
money
spinners
of
the
current
decade.
A
camp
which
had
built
it's
foundation
on
a
decade
of
friendship.
A
camp
where
no
'outsider'
was
allowed,
especially
if
this
very
outsider
happened
to
be
an
arch
rival
by
himself.
A
camp
comprising
of
Farah
Khan
and
Shahrukh
Khan
that
had
managed
to
keep
all
competition
at
bay
after
Main
Hoon
Naa
and
Om
Shanti
Om
after
a
certain
Akshay
Kumar
made
his
way
in
with
Tees
Maar
Khan.
It
has
been
months
since
news
broke
about
Akshay
Kumar
'sneaking'
into
this
camp.
Though
all
kind
of
accusations
and
conspiracy
theories
made
headlines
for
weeks
at
stretch,
the
man
of
the
moment
kept
quite
and
didn't
utter
a
word,
whether
on
or
off
the
records.
He
continued
to
keep
himself
busy
in
close
to
half
a
dozen
other
films
that
he
was
involved
in
the
capacity
of
both
as
an
actor
and
a
producer.
He
smiled
it
all
away
even
as
all
around
sinister
comments
were
being
made.
Today,
he
has
decided
to
open
up.
No,
he
isn't
indulging
himself
into
any
malice.
He
is
not
uncovering
any
big
secrets.
He
is
also
not
coming
charging
down
on
all
the
random
voices
that
were
being
heard
up
close
or
from
a
distance.
He
is
just
sharing
his
point
of
view.
A
workaholic
who
has
seldom
spent
his
days
off
the
sets,
Akshay
Kumar
is
surprised
with
all
the
murmurs
and
rumours.
As
the
actor
puts
in
his
own
words
-
'Everyone
has
the
right
to
earn
a
living'.
All
that
he
is
doing
is
just
earn
a
living!
"It
is
beyond
me
when
some
people
think
that
Farah
shouldn't
have
the
right
to
work
with
anyone
that
she
wants
to",
says
Akshay
in
an
exasperated
tone,
"Yes,
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Farah
Khan
mean
a
lot
to
each
other.
But
then
neither
can
he
ban
her
from
working
with
others,
nor
can
she
ban
him
from
working
with
other
directors."
In
fact,
Akshay
had
shared
the
same
logic
even
earlier
when
Vipul
Shah
made
a
one
off
choice
of
working
with
Salman
Khan
and
Ajay
Devgn
in
London
Dreams.
Since
Vipul
and
Akshay
were
a
pair
with
three
successful
films
-
Aankhen,
Waqt
and
Namastey
London,
there
were
quite
a
few
eyebrows
that
were
raised
once
Vipul
moved
to
a
different
actor
for
his
dramatic
musical.
However,
at
that
time
Akshay
was
one
of
the
first
to
quash
the
rumours
and
maintained
that
he
and
Vipul
harboured
no
ill
will.
Since
they
were
anyway
simultaneously
working
on
Action
Replayy,
there
wasn't
much
scope
for
scoop
searchers
as
well
to
dig
deeper.
However,
the
fact
remains
that
despite
this,
so
much
has
been
said
and
written
about
Farah
Khan
opting
for
Akshay
instead
of
Shahrukh
Khan
in
Tees
Maar
Khan.
Really,
doesn't
he
too
feel
that
a
lot
is
being
read
into
something
which
is
nothing
but
a
plain
and
simple
professional
decision?
"Aah,
now
finally
there
is
someone
asking
me
a
question
with
an
open
mind",
Akshay
brings
on
a
smile
here,
"Yes,
this
is
being
made
into
something
which
it
is
not.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
work
is
work
after
all.
Everyone
has
the
right
to
earn
a
living."
Now
that
should
set
the
records
straight.
