SRK and Salman fire a Diwali dubsmash. Is all really well among the Khans?
All's not been well between Bollywood's Bhaijaan Salman Khan and Badshah Shah Rukh Khan, or so we thought.
After a brawl back in 2008 during Salman's then girlfriend Katrina Kaif's birthday bash, the two Khans had been seen uncomfortable talking to/about each other. Aamir Khan, who completes the three musketeers kind of league in Bollywood, had been closer to Salman than Shah Rukh.
But since last year, things have changed for good. Salman and Shah Rukh have come out in the open and spoken about each other, how they admire, love, and respect each other's work and how they wish the other's movies do better than theirs.
Considering the popularity both of these stars enjoy among their fans, when each of their movies, however mediocre it is, makes easily to the 100-crore club and breaking a new record, it is not very tough to believe they might have been self-actualised by now and can have a cordial relationship, or a step ahead - bromance - like the good old times when they were just beginning their careers.
Avid social media users, Shah Rukh and Salman, have also been proving their superior marketing prowess lately. With upcoming movies lined for both, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo for Salman and Dilwale for Shah Rukh, both the stars have been promoting their films by all means, especially using Facebook and Twitter.
To add to the promotional extravaganza, and to give their fans a treat, Khans have been promoting each other's movies as well. From tweeting kind words about their competitor's films, they've now come to even making dubsmash videos for each other.
When Shah Rukh and the main cast of Dilwale, including Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, did a Prem Ratan Dhan Payo dubsmash, Salman, with his team, returned the favour by doing a Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge act.

Top three Khans of Bollywood, Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman, have proven their business acumen individually earlier, now let us wait and see what they would do together to make their movies touch the 500 crore club!
