Shah Rukh Khan to attend '3 Idiots' premiere, er... how about 'Veer'?

Shah Rukh Khan has proved to be large hearted with his industry freenimies - he attended Amitabh Bachchan's Paa premiere and now will be seen at Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots premiere.

 "I called him (Shah Rukh) yesterday to invite him for my premiere and we chatted for half an hour," 3 Idiots producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra told TOI.

Shah Rukh and Aamir don't attend each others parties and events and are often projected as being at loggerheads.

By the media, but there has never been an open fight between the two. Shah Rukh and Aamir were most recently seen together at the Paa premiere on December 3.

Amitabh Bachchan had personally called up the two stars to invite them for the event. While Shah Rukh arrived with family and stayed through.


The screening of the film, Aamir came accompanied by Chopra and left 30 minutes into screening of the film.

At the premiere Shah Rukh was seen chatting up Amar Singh, a Bachchan family friend who in the past has publicly taken pot shots at Khan. Shah Rukh was even heard inviting Amar Singh to Mannat!  3 Idiot is due for release on December 25 and Aamir Khan has taken responsibility for marketing of the film.

Earlier this year, Shah Rukh buried his hatchet with Chopra. Shah Rukh's spat with Chopra occured when Chopra's Eklavya was nominated as India's official entry to the Oscars. The choice received a lot of flak. In response, Chopra said that if Shah Rukh''s Paheli could be India's official entry to the Oscars, then why not Eklavya?

The indescrition upset Shah Rukh and the two stopped talking. Shah Rukh pulled out of 3 Idiots. The final nail in the coffin was Shah Rukh asking Chopra's favorite director Raju Hirani to direct a film for Shah Rukh's production house, Red Chillies. Chopra says he has 'totally' forgiven Shah Rukh for wooing his director.

Since its reconciliation time, we are wondiering if Salman and Shah Rukh will bury their hatchet around Salman Khan's Veer release on January 22. Its one of Salman's biggest film ever and the closest to his heart; his dream project of years.  We are sure its within the Khans to forgive and fight again forget!
