New Delhi:
Their enmity made headlines inthe past but Shatrughan Sinha and Amitabh Bachchan seem tohave buried their differences and Shotgun says he would loveto share screen space with Big B again if a good script comestheir way.
Popularly known as Shotgun for his fiery dialoguedelivery, the actor-politician says their so called"differences" are a thing of past.
"Minor problems happen between colleagues now and thenbut there is nothing personal between us. I respect him and Ithink Amitabh is very fond of me too," Sinha told PTI.
The Bollywood contemporaries worked together in 70s films'Dostana', 'Shaan', 'Naseeb' and 'Kala Pathar' and Sinha sayshe would love to act with Bachchan again.
"I would love to work with Amitabh again but there shouldbe a good script to justify our presence," he adds.
The friends-turned-foes apparently bonded again atShabana Azmi's birthday recently and since then they seem tobe back on good terms. Bachchan even congratulatedSonakshi, Sinha's daughter, on her debut performance in'Dabangg'.
Their friendship had turned sour two years ago when Sinhahad taken a snipe at the Bachchan family by saying thatcertain award functions (IIFA) had become Bachchans' familyaffair. Not to be left behind, Bachchan too posted a stingingremark against Sinha on his blog.
Sinha says he has also mended his friendship withRekha. The two stars stopped talking to each other whileshooting 'Khoon Bhari Maang' and the actor says it took themsome 16-years to become friends again.
He is now working with Bollywood diva in 'Aaj Phir JeeneKi Tamanna Hai' after a gap of almost 30 years. Rekha alsoplayed onscreen mother to Sinha's son Luv in his debut film'Sadiyaan'.
The 'Kalicharan' star, who does not remember what led tothe differences, credits his wife Poonam for patching up theirfriendship.
"We had a fight and not many people know that we were noton talking terms while shooting 'Khoon Bhari Maang' but youcan't detect it in our performance. I don't remember what ledto the argument but it was my wife who introduced me toRekhaji in a party and things became normal again," he says.
Sinha, 65, says 'Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai' will seeboth him and Rekha in a never-before-seen avatar.
"The film has been ready for some time but we had to pushback the release because it is so opposite of our usual image.Ram Gopal Varma's 'Rakta Charitra' was released during thattime. But it is ready to hit the screens."
Sinha plays a business tycoon, who is planning to marry ayoung girl but things take another turn when he is introducedto her housekeeper, played by Rekha.
Despite his political engagements, Sinha says he is notretiring from acting: "How can I say goodbye to acting. Itwill always remain in me. In fact, I will soon be announcingmy next fi lm."
