The
feud between the two macho dudes of
Bollywood has been on for some months
now. Everyone knows about it. Salman
and John had however preferred to
play things down but the tension between
them was evident whenever they had
to face each other. Things had come
to a point where both made it a point
to avoid each other.
But this was not possible at the audio launch
of Salaam-E-Ishq. Both of them had to be present
on stage at the same time and the clear picture
of the heat between the two emerged when Salman
refused to acknowledge the presence of John.
Things became even more interesting when John
chose to arrive at the Baabul premier only after
Salman had left before the second half. Both
of them seemed to have decided to ignore the
other and get along with their lives; no mud
slinging. But in a surprise statement Salman
has opened up a fresh chapter in this feud.
Salman, when asked about the reason for Baabul’s
failure bluntly stated that the second half
of the movie was to blame.
‘Baabul failed because of the second half’
was what he said. Anyone who has seen the movie
knows that Salman’s character dies in
the first half and the entire second half is
taken up by John. The statement might seem harmless
at first, but keen observers opine that it is
a veiled attack on John. This kind of interpretation
goes well with Salman’s image and is being
bought by most people. John has not yet reacted.
