Shah Rukh to Subhash Ghai: Salman Khan turns villain to hero

Just like in politics, there are no permanent friends or enemies in show business – just permanent interests.

Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan had been at loggerheads for almost half a dozen years but when the duo decided to call their fight off, they did so in style.

SRK dropped by at the Khan's to bless Arpita Khan during her pre-wedding celebrations and bonded with the whole family including Salman Khan.

Not just that, when the duo stepped out of Galaxy, they were seen chatting and hugging each other and their age old fight had been done and dusted.

Salman Khan has patched up with almost everyone he had a fight - even with Subhash Ghai.

The rivalry goes back to when Salman was a newcomer in the industry.

Salman entered Bollywood through a brief and a low on impact 'Biwi Ho Toh Aisi', but it was 'Maine Pyaar Kiya' that catapulted this young hero to stardom. Subhash Ghai, then powerful filmmaker who passed a snide remark at Salman that lead to the entire furor.

Salman reportedly gate crashed in to Ghai's party and subsequently got into a fist fight with the veteran film maker then. But with Salman's father Salim Khan's intervention, things have bettered off now.

The actor is now sharing screen and producer space with Ghai.

The film 'Hero', being produced by Salman Khan and Subhash Ghai marks the two coming together after 'Yuvvraaj' which was directed by Ghai.

'Hero' was first produced by and directed by Ghai in the early eighties with Jackie Shroff and Meenakshi Seshadri and he sold/shared the rights with Salman to launch Sooraj Panscholi and Athiya Shetty.

Salman's feud with Vivek Oberoi is also well-documented.

Things went topsy-turvy for Vivek when he started dating Salman's ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai (now Bachchan).

Salman had a bitter standoff following Oberoi's press conference against him in 2003.

Troubled Vivek called press giving details about a murder threatening to alleged 41 calls by Salman. Since then Salman maintained his distance from Vivek.

While Salman's career took a mammoth turn, Vivek, who had enormous potential, sank without a trace.

But in 2011 in an interview Salman said that he has forgiven Vivek Oberoi.
