The Akshay-Salman Rift, Is Salman’s  Former Manager Responsible?

That things are  not  hunky-dory between Akshay Kumar and SalmanKhan is  the buzz in Bollywood right now. It all started when Salman  Khan and Akshay Kumar joined hands with Karan Johar for a proposed  historical  epic  on  the Battle of Saragarhi.

When Salman fell out with Karan Johar over Salman’s brother-in-law Ayush’s  launch as  a leading man(Johar apparently declined to produce Ayush’s launch film after agreeing to do so) Salman expected Akshay also to bow out of the Saragarhi project. When however Akshay expressed a willingness to continue his partnership with Johar without Salman in it, Salman was deeply wounded.

 To add insult to injury Akshay decided  to  employ the services  of Salman’s  former business manager Reshma Shetty, although Salman sacked her unceremoniously.

Sources  close to both the superstars say their relations are at  the moment “pretty strained”, though Akshay  was  seen in the finals  of  Bigg Boss on Sunday. But without  his new business manager Reshma Shetty in tow.

She has discreetly decided to stay  out of Salman Khan’s range  of  vision.
