Time heals all wounds, especially in the entertainment business, and none would vouch for this truism of life more than super icons Shah Rukh
Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Remember, they parted on a sour note after her hasty departure from his home production Chalte Chalte six years ago?
She had already canned a portion of the film when Salman Khan reportedly landed on the sets... and, well, the rest as they say is history.
Post that scene, SRK let Ash off the hook and took Rani Mukerji as his leading lady. And, since then, many big banners including Yashraj and Dharma failed to reunite the pair that created such magic in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas.
Subsequently, though the Bollywood Badshah wasn't invited to the Ash-Abhishek wedding, King Khan and wife Gauri posed with the Bachchans for the shutterbugs at the Drona premiere last year. And more recently, at Karan Johar's birthday party on May 25, the two couples — SRK and Gauri, Ash and Abhi — spent quality time together.
In the light of this thawing of relations, comes the news of cinematographer-director Rajiv Menon (whose Kandukonden Kandukonden in Tamil had Tabu and Ash) reuniting the SRK-Ash jodi. Menon is said to have flown to London to narrate a dramatic script (with Ash in mind) to Shah Rukh, which the actor liked.
At this point of his career, SRK is looking to do films that explore his dramatic intensity as in Devdas. He has no problems working with Ash and she with him. At Karan's birthday, the Bachchans and Khans got along famously. Rajiv Menon's film is being seen as a natural progression towards mending the bridges between two of the most powerful families of Bollywood.
