Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was reportedly involved in a brawl with director Farah Khan's husband Shirish Kunder at Sanjay Dutt's success party of 'Agneepath'.

The bust up is said to have occurred late last night at the party when an irked SRK allegedly roughed up his former friend's husband, who has been very vocal against the filmstar.

Despite repeated attempts Shah Rukh remained unavailable for comment.

Farah and Kunder spoke about the incident in a statement but denied they were going to pursue the matter with police.

"Shahrukh has always told me that physical abuse is the worst way to sort out a problem, and that it means the person who's hitting has either a personal or professional crisis going on. So it saddens me to see him doing the same," Farah said in a statement.

Kunder took to his Twitter account to say: "Thanks for all your concern & wishes. We are very grateful. Contrary to rumours, we have no intention of filing a FIR or police complaint."

Once very good friends, Farah choreographed SRK in several of his films and directed him in "Main Hoon Naa" and "Om Shanti Om" but their friendship soured after she cast Akshay Kumar in "Tees Maar Khan" in 2010.

The actor's enmity with Kunder apprently stems from the days when he refused to do latter's "Joker".

Kunder, who also once used to be close to SRK, occasionally blasts the actor on his twitter page, recently callin his sci-fi 'RA.One' "a 150 cr firework fizzle".

The other celebrities present at the party, however, have come out in support of King Khan, saying Kunder had it coming.

"Shahrukh is supr rockin.. Good he gave it 2 shirish. people shud learn 2 b grateful to king khan, aftrall he has been so supportive 2 farah. Glad@iamsrk told shirish off n put him in place. srk has done so much 4 farah. they shud b grateful n not abusing srk (sic)," Ameesha Patel tweeted.

"I was present at Sanj's party & Without Any Bias I Fully Support Shah Rukh (sic)," celebrity photographer Dabboo Ratnani tweeted.

You all know that Shyam Benegal had signed Kareena Kapoor to play the female lead in his next project, Chamki Chameli. However,for reasons undisclosed, she opted out. (Before you ask, no, it was not because of Katrina Kaif. We are quite sure it has no connection to Chikni Chameli.) Anyway, the next lady to be offered the role was Vidya Balan. We heard that while she was initially eager to do the role, the success of The Dirty Picture changed her mind. She politely requested Benegal to send her the script again, and then refused him. Sigh. Was it the effect of stupendous fame? We've seen that happen often enough. Or was Chameli too similar to Silk? Again, neither of them is talking about it.

But all you Benegal fans, don't worry too much. There is still hope. The latest buzz doing the rounds is that the Welcome to Sajjanpur director wants to cast Priyanka Chopra. We know of Piggy Chops' passion for meaty female lead roles – whether it is Fashion or 7 Khoon Maaf. So we won't be surprised if she does accept the role in spite of her packed date diary. It would be interesting to see how she approaches what we are sure is a typically Shyam Benegal offbeat film. By the way, is this why she is suddenly interested in learning Marathi? Only time will tell…

 Agent Vinod is Saif Ali Khan's baby. The Nawab of Pataudi turned producer because he always wanted to do a film of this scale. This is Saif's second film as a producer after Love Aaj Kal and the 41-year-old will be romancing real-life love Kareena Kapoor in the film. It's an open secret that if you produce a movie, it gives you the power to select a star cast of your choice. At least that's how it works in Bollywood. We heard that the director of the film Sriram Raghavan was keen to have a classical mujra in Agent Vinod and his first choice to do the number was Priyanka Chopra. But when Kareena found out about it – a little birdie told us with much wicked chortling – she was not particularly happy about the director's choice and influenced producer-beau Saif to picturise the song on hers rather than letting arch-rival PC steal the limelight with her sexy moves. When questioned about whether Priyanka was even considered for 'item number', the Khan dude tried to duck the question and gave a hesitant reply: "The film is stylised in a different way. Every filmmaker these days creates a buzz by incorporating an item number. The hotness quotient goes up by the outfit an item girl wears, her seductive moves and raunchy expressions. There's a classical mujra in our film. And because Agent Vinod is largely shot in Pakistan, we thought of doing something original and unique, so it had to be a mujra. Well, there was talk of Priyanka doing the song, but Kareena's character fit the bill, so an additional star was not required!" Now that was such an unconvincing reply from the seasoned actor, we thought!

The buzz is that Priyanka was considering this hatke dance form, but when she learnt of Bebo's tantrum over the song she chose to refuse the offer and concentrated on Don 2 instead. And now, with Agent Vinod all ready for release, we think the cold war between Priyanka and Bebo is all set to be ignited once again…and we cannot wait for that to happen, 'coz that gives us more material to have fun with. So don't be surprised if you see some fireworks adding drama to the PR hype before Agent Vinod makes his dramatic appearance on the big screen!
