Aamir, Shahrukh back together

The two big superstars of Bollywood, Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan have put their diffrences aside to fight for the film industry.Aamir and Shahrukh reportedly met at Karan Johar's residence to settle their differences and join hands to fight for the problems the industry is facing due to the issue of profit sharing between multiplexes and producers. Commenting on the meeting, Karan Johar was quoted as saying, "Yes, we met but it was an official meeting regarding the situation the industry is in. I would not like to discuss anything further till I can. With multiplexes having refused to release films, producers and industry insiders wanted Aamir and Shahrukh to join hands in sorting this problem.Aamir addressed members of the media to explain the issue at hand. "Today is not a happy day for us, we are saddened by the issue. We are entertainers we feel that we have to tell our audience that why is this happening, why they will not be able to watch movies in multiplexes for a while."He added, "The most important thing is that producers and distributors believe we are one industry and we can survive only when everybody is making profit. All we are asking for is a relationship of equality. We aren't saying that the old methods of 80 percent profit to the producers and 20 percent to the distributors should go on, that needs revision, and what we are asking for is a 50-50 relationship. Whatever solution we arrive at, should be a fair solution."Actor Shahrukh Khan took the podium to clarify what their intentions with this press conference are. "I want to make it clear that we are not here to stop showing our films to audiences. We just want equal rights for all parts of the film industry that is like a family, we're calling it, 'Fair Rights for Friday Nights."He added, "This will help all the small producers. It is not a power show, we are all partners, it is actually a show of togetherness. But we are employees of the audience, not of the multiplexes, and we will not succumb to their unfair demands."Apart from Aamir, industry veterans like Ronnie Screwvala, Mukesh Bhatt and Karan Johar were present, among others.The tiff between the producers and multiplexes started early February. And after several failed discussions, the producers decided to go on strike. From April 4 they have stopped giving release rights of new big-budget movies.
