The Opinionated Indian published a blind item which renewed public interest in the ongoing cold war between two leading actresses from South Indian cinema and Bollywood. The two actresses who have appeared together in several movies maintain a mutual dislike that has developed into actual fighting which includes their past physical fight.

Blind Item

Two female stars being good friends is rare in showbiz. Two female stars working together on a project is a nightmare for their respective teams. Two stars who have acted in several films down South & in Bollywood movies as well, have been having a cold war since several years. As per a source, they once had a physical altercation at a party. Their PR teams covered the fight up & avoided a PR nightmare. But they are getting difficult to handle on the sets of their Bollywood movie starring a star kid. The movie is directed by the star kid's father. They have had several spats on the sets of the movie & the makers ensure that they are kept away from each other. They fear that they may end up having another physical altercation if they are in the same room again. The star kid hero is playing the peacemaker betweent the two. Both the heroines are very adamant about not sharing screen space together & don't want to promote the movie together either.

The tension between the two actresses reportedly goes far beyond professional competition. Insiders claim that their rivalry which started because of their insecurity about screen time and billing order developed into personal animosity. What started as cold stares at events allegedly escalated into open arguments at private gatherings. The teams have repeatedly denied any existing conflicts yet production insiders confirm that actual disputes exist which disrupt their schedule and force them to organize their shooting times in order to avoid creating awkward situations.

The crew of their current big-budget Bollywood film maintains strict control over the set environment to avoid any potential conflicts. The production team uses staggered call times and separate parking for vanity vans while joint promotional appearances remain uncertain. The male lead tries to create equilibrium between his acting duties and his professional obligations yet the two leading ladies refuse to reach any mutual agreement about their scene distribution or their shared media appearances. The film faces high expectations from audiences the makers believe that professional conduct will eventually resolve their personal conflicts.
