Is there any love lost between the two Bollywood stars? Some sources say yes, and elaborate that everything isn't fine between Salman Khan and John Abraham. They quarreled during the last world tour when Salman named himself as the number one and Mallika Sherawat as number two. John couldn't digest it. Since some movies have cast both of them together, it is feared that Salman has threatened to quit from John starrer movies. There is a rumor that Salman has already told Ravi Chopra of 'Babul' and Nikhil Advani of 'Salam-E-Ishq' that he would not work with them because of the presence of John in their movies. However, both Ravi and Nikhil have denied such reports though they confirm that Salman has sought postponement of the shooting of these movies. Incidentally, Salman's spokesperson denies reports of any quarrel between the two stars.

Serial kisser Emraan Hashmi has spared glam doll Nisha Kothari in 'The Killer' from his kissing spree. She is very lucky as Emraan is known from the beginning of his filmi career from 'Footpath' to 'Gangster' for his serial kissing. Why and how he has kept his kissing habit at bay in 'The Killer' is amazing though Nisha Kothari might have not considered it a taboo. After all, Nisha began her career in a bold and hot video album like 'Chadhti Jawani', and then followed in Ram Gopal Verma's equally hot stuffed movies 'Sarkar' and 'James'. This is no exaggeration that Emraan hasn't ever spared any of his heroines from kissing. Nisha and 'The Killer' are exceptions though. Interestingly, Nisha plays a bar dancer and Emraan a taxi driver in 'The Killer'. The movie is releasing on Friday, July 21st.

Rani Mukherjee and Priety Zinta who have worked together in three big movies like 'Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega', 'Chori Chori Chupke' and 'Veer Zaara', and have been good friends for years, have now got involved in a cold war. They are jealous and are ready to hit each other. The industry is full of reports that they quarreled on the sets of Karan Johar's 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna'. Rani is clever; she treats Aditya Chopra as her admirer (?) and Karan Johar as her brother. According to these reports, Rani is determined to snatch few offers from Priety Zinta. However, the producers and the directors are keeping equidistance from both, but avoid entering into any controversy by favoring or rejecting either. They hope that the wisdom will finally prevail on both the artists, and they will put an early end to cold war.
