In an interview with Hindustan Times, Shah Rukh Khan made it known that the three Khans are friends and nothing the press can write will change that fact. A big to-do is brewing in the press about the release of SRK's film Raees and Salman's Sultan. The two films look to be on a collision course at the box office in 2016, and the press has been salivating at the idea of an SRK/Salman feud.
However, that doesn't appear to be the case. It would be foolish to think that both individuals still aren't very competitive men. They just seem to be handling it in a far more constructive manner. From the aforementioned Hindustan Times interview, Shah Rukh offers his thoughts, "I find talks like these really boring. I think even Salman and Aamir feel the same. We all three are different people. We don't talk about the clashes of our films; it's a producer's job, and it's very clear. If they want to have a film called Sultan release alongside Raees, God bless them both. Salman and I have no issues."
For his part, Salman has offered SRK a private screening of Bajrangi Bhaijaan. He has also steadfastly maintained that SRK and he are friends and has taken to Twitter and criticized his fans who have bashed Shah Rukh.
In the Hindustan Times article, SRK even had what could be considered a revolutionary idea, that they promote each other's films -- "At the end of the day, what might happen is maybe Salman and I, personally - despite our producers telling us otherwise - say, 'Chalo, Salman, you promote Raees, and I will promote Sultan.' We have been here too long. Even when I tweeted the Bajrangi Bhaijaan poster, I was like, 'Salman what are you doing? Let me do it (tweet the picture).' He hasn't sent me a message to thank me or something. We have been in this business too long, and have seen too much."
