And when the latter threw a party on Monday night post his National Awards win, the superstar joined in the celebrations.
As far as Salman is concerned, the filmmaker, by his own admission in an interview with hitlist (March 30), had recently visited him. "(But) Please don't ask me anything more about it," he insisted. However, that was enough to set the gossip mills buzzing about a possible collaboration (Read More).
Bhansali remained unavailable for comment, but a source close to him says, "The project is in the pre-production stage and Bhansali wants either Shah Rukh or Salman as the hero. He is sort of torn between the two Khans. Only an official announcement will make things clear."
