When actors Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan come together, anywhere, on or off screen, it becomes the biggest talk of the town. So, from the day it was announced that both of them would be coming together for a song in Aanand L Rai’s Zero, their fans went crazy. And the craziness was justified upon the release of the track, Issaqbaazi, last week as it broke the internet.

“Within just six days of the release of the song, it has already crossed more than 30 million views,” says a source close to the film.

Both SRK and Salman have individual­ly shared their excitement about their new collaborat­ion.

Shah Rukh even took to social media to thank his coactor. The King Khan was also quoted as saying in an earlier interview to a news agency: “The first time I came to Mumbai as a struggling actor, I had my meals at Salman’s place where Salim Khanji supported me a lot. It is because of them I have become Shah Rukh Khan…”

That the fans are looking forward to the film is evident in the way they are expressing their enthusiasm on social media. “The official handle of the film is flooded with messages every day and we are happy that fans are so excited,” adds the source.

The last time the two actors shook a leg together was back in 2010 for a song sequence in the Farah Khan directoria­l Om Shanti Om, which also saw the debut of actor Deepika Padukone.
