Arjun Rampal, who is a close friend of Shah Rukh and Karan Johar has joined hands with their foe Pritish Nandy. The model turned actor has signed his next flick, to be directed by Nandy’s elder son Kushan and produced under the Pritish Nandy Communications (PNC) banner.
And this decision of Arjun has not gone well with Khan and Karan. The two have been at loggerheads with Nandy since the past six years and Arjun’s professional move has disappointed the actor-filmmaker camp. It is believed that Arjun has been signed on for the movie at a staggering price, which is why the actor decided to team up with his thick friends’ foe.
But a source close to the actor revealed, “Arjun is not even aware of any problems between Karan, Khan and PNC. Arjun is sure that no one will hold grudges against him, especially because the so-called issue is over six years old. Arjun and Khan are still the best of friends, contrary to rumours about their fallout.
Arjun loved the script of this film and is working in it. There are no two ways about it.” Buzz has it that Rongita (daughter of Pritish Nandy), producer of the film ‘Shabd’ had asked Karan and Gauri Khan to leave the private screening for reasons unknown.
And since then, Shah Rukh’s gang vowed never to attend any function organized by the Nandys. This had colossal ramifications because gradually, most actors began refusing films under the PNC banner. Arjun is the first one to break this so-called rule.
