The war between producers-distributors and multiplex owners has come to an end and it has also put an end to many a cold war in Bollywood. For instance, the animosity between Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan came to an end when they addressed a press conference to explain the stalemate between producers-distributors and multiplex owners. Now, we hear Shah Rukh Khan and Vidhu Vinod Chopra also resolved their differences during a meeting held at a Bandra five-star hotel on Wednesday.

A source said, “SRK and Vidhu were talking cordially with each other during the meeting. Even while waiting for their cars after the meeting ended, the two were seen chatting at length. All seemed to be well between them and they definitely looked like good friends.

The SRK-Vidhu war started after Vidhu faced flak for his Eklavya being nominated as India’s official entry to the Oscars. As an explanation, the filmmaker had said that if the SRK starrer Paheli could be India’s official entry to the Oscars previously, then why not Eklavya. The filmmaker and actor completely stopped talking after that incident. Things further worsened when SRK opted out of Vidhu’s 3 Idiots and asked the Munnabhai director Raju Hirani (a Chopra loyalist) to direct a film for his banner. Sources

UTV, one of the Bollywood’s major production houses, has signed a nine film deal with Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap. He has to make them in the next three years.
Kashyap will be directing around four to five movies produced by UTV as part of the deal.
“Anurag’s ‘Dev D’ was produced by UTV Spotboy and it was a blockbuster. It set the base for a phenomenal working relationship. Now, we want to take this association forward with a long term perspective and that is exactly how this idea came about,” Vikas Bahl, CCO of UTV Motion Pictures said in a statement released here Wednesday.
“Anurag is an extremely talented director, with a unique vision. There is a clear connect between how we want each of our films to be exceptional and diverse in various aspects and how Anurag treats each of his projects,” he added.
Kashyap was also excited about the agreement. “Making ‘Dev D’ was one of the most satisfying experiences and the production and distribution support that I got from UTV was the best I ever had. A repeat of that is always welcome,” he said.
