One of most lasting friendships that broke recently has been revived again. After almost three years of a cold war involving an enormously aggressive silence from both ends, past best buddies Anupam Kher and Anil Kapoor patched up in full public view, at the premiere of the Sikander's debut film Woodstock Villa on Thursday night. Psychologically charged after watching his son's debut film, Anupam said that it was very generous of Anil to come. Although he did expect him to make an appearance, he had his doubts, as they hadn't been in touch for more than three years for whatsoever reasons. It must have been noticed that during this cold war, Anupam was not seen at the premiere of Anil's daughter Sonam's debut film Saawariya or even at the premiere of Anil Kapoor's home production Gandhi My Father.
The bone of controversy between the two buddies was none other than the follower of peace himself - Mahatma Gandhi. Anupam had announced his production Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara with himself in the lead. When overnight, without being informed by his friend, Anupam heard that Anil had launched Gandhi My Father with Darshan Jariwala and Akshaye Khanna in lead roles, Anupam felt hurt and betrayed. There ended the duo's seemingly unbreakable dosti…until now. Anupam said that he had decided to invite Anil on an impulse, for son Sikander's sake. He said that he was passing by Anil's office and it struck him that he should invite him. But he didn't have his phone number since he had changed his cell phone. So he drove down to his office and invited him personally for the premiere. Anil was definitely startled but was very welcoming.
