Salman started the fight with SRK (Video)

Katrina Kaif's birthday party has sparked off furious activity (and we're speaking literally) at Mannat and Galaxy Apartments.

The showdown between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan has snowballed into a regular camp war, casting its effects across Bollywood.

Both Khans are furious, their supporters are worried.

The industry is already taking sides.

SRK's supporters camped at Mannat the whole day yesterday, discussing the incident and its fallouts. Sajid Khan and writer Mustaq Sheikh were the first to arrive. Then the calls started coming in. Farhan Akhtar called to offer support, so did Javed Akhtar. Arjun Rampal and Karan Johar made it clear that they were on his side. Kunal Kohli called SRK too. Yash Chopra called to enquire what exactly had happened, making it clear where the loyalty of Yash Raj Films lies.

Meanwhile, At Salman's place too the supporters and supportive calls streamed in. Ranbir Kapoor called to commiserate with Salman. So did Fardeen and Zayed Khan. Kareena Kapoor called Sallu too. Akshaye Khanna called and tried to cheer him up. Govinda's support is obvious for Sallu, he didn't even need to call. Sajid Nadiadwala is away in Los Angeles, so probably unaware that everyone is indulging in a show of support.

Aamir Khan's well-meaning efforts seem to have been in vain. The industry is abuzz with the feeling that this is the end of the road for the Salman-Shah Rukh relationship. Neither of them is in any mood to relent.

More from Kat's party:

Meanwhile, more reports are coming in from the party from eye-witnesses. Everyone is unanimous about the fact that a high-spirited Sallu goaded SRK right from the start. "Tu kya superstar, main hoon superstar" he said, again and again. An indulgent Shah Rukh tried to let it go, saying, "Haan haan, tu hi superstar."

But matters didn't end there. They began berating each other and their respective reality shows, using the choicest gaalis, Sallu getting more and more aggressive. Gauri Khan asked SRK to leave the party three times. Finally, SRK did so, but not before turning round and passing such a lewd remark about Aishwarya Rai that Sallu came rushing to hit him.

A lot has been made about the Khan war at the Box Office but on Wednesday night in Mumbai, the two Khans – Salman and Shah Rukh were embroiled in a real-life tiff.

The two Khans reportedly got into a verbal duel after downing a couple of drinks at Salman’s girlfriend, actor Katrina Kaif's birthday bash at Mumbai's popular nightspot Olive.

Eyewitnesses are not sure about the reason of the fight. Some say Salman asked Shah Rukh to make a special appearance in his forthcoming film Mr and Mrs Khanna.

Shah Rukh reportedly turned down the offer, upsetting Salman. The party was disrupted, as arguments grew louder.

Shah Rukh's wife Gauri, Katrina and even actor Aamir Khan – all present at the party - intervened to calm them down later.
