Kudos to SRK

Shah Rukh's My Name is Khan may not have been a hit, but it found favour with one of the best writers of Bollywood.

"Salim Khan loved the movie, and he especially liked Shah Rukh in it," said a source close to the family. "He thought Shah Rukh had done a great job and he feels that it was brave to use the movie for a good cause, and the cause of Muslims all over the world."

Salim Khan is of course the father of Salman Khan, who has a running feud with Shah Rukh, but this did not stop Salim Khan from calling up his son's rival to offer his praise. Sources close to Shah Rukh said he had received the message. "Salim sahib sent the message saying how much he had loved the movie and that Shah Rukh had done a super job in it. It was very nice of him, being such a respectable and senior person in the industry to have responded like this," the source said.

SRK himself confirmed the news, saying: “Yes, Salim uncle has loved the film and it’s very sweet of him that he sent me a message. We all are like a family.”

Salim Khan along with Javed Akhtar wrote over a dozen superhit films including the one that many believe is the greatest film ever made in Bollywood, Sholay. High praise indeed for Shah Rukh!
