Sanjay Leela Bhansali presented the story of Devdas, for the third time in the history of cinema, with Shahrukh Khan in the lead role. Cut to the present, and Bhansali is all set to release his movie, Saawariya on the same day as Shahrukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om. Bhansali does not believe it is a collision, just a co-incidence.

There is a reason why Bhansali is launching fresh faces. According to him, “I think the audience is tired and fed up of the 40-year-old hero. They want to see fresh, young faces. And that is why I am presenting to movie-goers, the chance to see new faces. How long do you think women will swoon over 40-year-old heroes?”

Ironically, Bhansali has stated that he believes in competition, because that inspires you and makes you work harder. If he is mocking Shahrukh, then it is not a big deal. All is fair in love and war.
