Deepika Padukone, Sanjay Leela Bhansali & Ranveer Singh

A lot has been said about the Dilwale-Bajirao Mastani clash. Both the films are much anticipated and boast of a kickass star cast. While we have Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon on one side, we have Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra on the other. The directors of both the films come with great credentials too – Rohit Shetty and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

So while fans are busy picking sides, the makers of the film are seemingly chill. For instance, when asked about the clash, a leading daily quoted SLB as saying:

I talk to Shah Rukh as well as Salman Khan. I met SRK the other day at Amitji’s (Amitabh Bachchan) party, and we hugged and chatted. Of all the actors that I have worked with, I have met Shah Rukh the most. I am not here to be enemies with anyone. I have great respect for him. His next film is different, and so is mine. They should both do well in today’s times when there are so many screens. Why are we making an election campaign with these films, wondering which party will win? This isn’t politics or a sport. SRK is a huge star; a great person and a wonderful friend. I don’t have reasons to spoil relationships with people. I enjoy my conversations with him. I am very fond of him.

Now that’s classy af!

Which movie are you looking forward to more?
