Salman Khan doesn't want to work with John Abraham!

Though Salman Khan is a man of golden heart, once he strikes someone’s name off his good books, there seems to be no rethinking for him.

It is no secret that Salman Khan and John Abraham do not get along well with each other. The reports of animosity between them cropped after they returned from the Rockstars concert last year. Then there were also rumours that the vibes between Salman and John were quite cold while working in Ravi Chopra’s movie Baabul . Even filmmaker Nikhil Advani made sure not to touch the sensitive issue and kept no scenes featuring Salman and John together in his movie Salaam-e-Ishq .

The so-called rivalry between the two stars has so far remained somewhat subdued and has not come out in the open yet. But Salman seems to be having second thoughts about doing Rituparno Ghosh’s remake of the 1962 classic ‘Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam’ for which Ghosh has finalized Salman, John and Priyanka Chopra .

In the remake, Salman is supposed to play an alcoholic zamindar who prefers the company of courtesans than his beautiful wife, to be played by Priyanka Chopra. John is supposed to play the role of the servant who gets to know the inner suffering of the zamindar’s wife and share her loneliness.

The fact that Ghosh will be directing this timeless classic makes it a precious project. But reports have it that Salman is reluctant to work with John in Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam .

The film’s producer Pritish Nandy is not willing to comment about any casting changes in the movie. However, he does assert that the movie will indeed be made.

Just a few weeks back, we had reported that Salman has opted out of Boney Kapoor’s movie Milenge Milenge because he did not want to work with its hero Shahid Kapur . Salman and Shahid, too, apparently had a spat during a concert.
