SRK offers olive branch to Bhansali?

Tabloids are buzzing with reports that superstar Shahrukh Khan offered an olive branch to friend-turn-foe filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, on Friday night.

As per sources, Sanjay was busy looking after with his special guests, he had invited for the private screening of his latest film 'Guzaarish' at the Yashraj Studios, when he got call from King Khan.

For a moment Sanjay seemed surprised after seeing SRK's number flash on his mobile after two long years, but he recovered quickly and went out to take the call.

As per eye-witnesses, assistant directors, who were standing quite close to Sanjay, were equally surprised when they heard filmmaker almost scream with joy into his phone, "Hi, Shah Rukh."

Sanjay, SRK back on track
Reportedly, the duo chatted away for good 20 minutes before deciding to bid adieu to each other on friendly note for the day.

Sanjay seemed extremely pleased after the call, though refused to tell anyone about his conversation with Shahrukh.

However, he did say, "I can't tell you everything that we spoke. But SRK did say that Devdas was his best and this is our best."

About SRK-Bhansali rift
SRK and Sanjay became friends while shooting for 'Devdas' in 2002.

All was well between the talented duo until the fateful day of Nov. 9, 2007, when SRK'S 'Om Shanti Om' and Sanjay's 'Saawariya' released in theatres.

SRK's film turned out to be a hit, while Bhansali's failed miserably. After this at one of the press events, Shahrukh ended up saying few nasty things about 'Saawariya' and why he thinks it failed.

Bhansali, who was already upset with the failure of his film, felt betrayed, as it was not expected from the person, who calls himself his friend.

Bhansali did not stay silent either and shot back at SRK with his statement, "Gags and jokes at senior actors do not make a film great. Cinema is not about laughing at legends. If we don't do something new, our cinema will become a stagnant pool of gags and jokes masquerading as a masala entertainer."

Since that day, Bhansali and SRK did not even talk to each other.

Rightly said, "All's Well That Ends Well."
