MUMBAI: The entire Bollywood film fraternity has gathered together to support the Chopra clan during its greatest hour of need.

Over the past few days, we have witnessed the strength and unity of the Bollywood film fraternity. Celebrities and film stars have descended in droves to support Yash Chopra’s family in their bereavement.

Bollywood’s reigning stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan, have all been seen at the Chopra residence, and seen attending the funeral of the legendary filmmaker.

Salman Khan is no exception, as he was extremely shocked and upset on hearing the sad news of Yash Chopra’s demise. He was shooting for his upcoming home production, ‘Dabangg 2′, and was seen cancelling his shoot as a mark of respect to the late filmmaker.

Salman also spoke to his elder son, Aditya Chopra, to offer his condolences.

Salman Khan, who has never been directed by Yash Chopra, but had starred in his latest production, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, was extremely close to the legend. Salman’s father, Salim Khan, was not just a colleague of Yash Chopra, but was considered a good friend of his too.

Salim Khan also rushed to the side of the Chopra family upon hearing the unfortunate news of the Chopra patriarch’s demise.

Yash Chopra was an extremely revered man in the film industry. He was the maker of superhits like ‘Silsila’, ‘Chandni’, ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, ‘Veer Zaara’.

His latest directorial venture, ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’, stars Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma and is up for release on 13th November, 2012.

Shahrukh Khan cancels Eid release of Chennai Express for Salman Khan

Salman Khan has been ruling the Box office on Eid for many years now. All his super hit films likeDabangg, Bodyguard and the latest Ek Tha Tiger was released on Eid. It was revealed earlier that Salman Khan's next Eid release Sher Khan had been kept on the back burner. So, Shahrukh Khan decided to release his upcoming film Chennai Express on Eid 2013.

Now, Salman Khan and brother Sohail Khan have decided to make the South blockbuster Brindavanamin Hindi and they have decided to release this film on EID 2013. When Shahrukh Khan(DON) came to know this, he postponed the release of Chennai Express. Shahrukh has decided to release his film two-three weeks after the Brindavanam remake.

Trade analyst Taran Aarsh told a leading daily, "It would have been a very dangerous fight. The industry needs to co-exist. Don't eat into each other's share. I would say the same for Jab Tak Hai Jaanand Son of Sardar too (both slated to release on November 13)."

So, do you agree with Taran Adarsh?
