Bhatt, Tijori's friendly swap

Like in politics, friendships aren’t permanent in Bollywood. Neither is enmity. Vikram Bhatt and Deepak Tijori had been friends for 20 years till they cut off ties completely after a bitter fight.
The reason was that Vikram shelved Bhaag Johnny, a film he was producing and Deepak was directing. Now there’s word that the two are coming together again, only this time Vikram will be directing the film while Deepak will act in it.
Vikram confirmed, “Yes, I am directing Bhaag Johnny now.Deepak will be making his comeback as an actor in the film. He will be playing a Pakistani cop, Salamat Khan, in the film.”
As for the patch-up, Deepak elaborates, “Vikram is a very old friend. He called me out of the blue to say that he wants to give me something and wants to take something from me. He said he wants to direct Bhaag Johnny, which I think is a fantastic thriller, and in return he wants me act in film.
I could not say no to him, so I am all geared up to act again. We have done some fantastic work in the past and have a long standing association. My role in his film Ghulam is still remembered.”
Incidentally, the film was to mark the Bollywood debut of TV actor Karan Singh Grover, but Vikram says he is cast someone in the lead role.
