The new year seems to have kicked off on a controversial note for the SRK camp. As if talks about the supposed rift between Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan weren't enough, now reports suggest that Farah's husband Shirish Kunder is planning to do a film with the badshah's arch-rival, Salman Khan.

Salman's all-male birthday bash recently saw him and Shirish discussing a film together, which will be produced by Farah.

Shirish and Salman had in the past worked in the former's directorial dud debut, Jaan-e-Mann.

Shirish claims that SRK turned him down when he asked the King Khan to work in his film, Tees Maar Khan.

The buzz goes that Shirish then decided to rope in his wife in the project, hoping that her 'best friend' SRK would then agree to do the film.

But Shah Rukh still turned the project down. Finally, Farah approached Akshay Kumar for the film.
