Playback singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya has ruled the roost in late 90's and&nbsp; early 2000's. He sang for several Iconic songs for Shah Rukh Khan&nbsp;during early stage of Shah Rukh&nbsp;in films. To note some of their most celebrated songs are From &ldquo;Badi Mushkil Hai&rdquo; in Anjaam, &ldquo;Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Mein&rdquo; in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, and &ldquo;Main Koi Aisa Geet&rdquo; in Yes Boss to the title track in Baadshah, &ldquo;Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha&rdquo; in Main Hoon Na, and &ldquo;Dhoom Taana&rdquo; in Om Shanti Om, the duo&rsquo;s musical partnership has been truly iconic.

But, Abhijeeth has never lent his voice to Shah Rukh Khan after Billu (2009). Speaking to a YouTube channel, Abhijeeth revealed that, though he tried to resolve the personal differences between them a couple of times, the singer noted that his efforts went in vain. He also added that Shah Rukh&nbsp;is a very commercial person who will use others and remove anyone from his path to success.

But, Abhijeeth heaps praises on Shah Rukh Khan&nbsp;when it comes to being a nationalist. He said that, labelling him as anti-national is very wrong. Many have attempted to do so, but there is no bigger nationalist than Shah Rukh Khan. &ldquo;Among the Khans, Shah Rukh Khan is the only nationalist. Others don&rsquo;t really have anything to do with the nation,&rdquo; he asserted.

Abhijeet Bhattacharya started his career by singing alongside Asha Bhosle in a song composed by RD Burman for the Bengali movie Aparupa (1982), and went on to lend his voice to over 1,000 films.

Kalyan Krishna to direct Nagarjuna. As Chiranjeevi's collaboration with director Kalyan Krishna experiences a temporary pause, seasoned actor Nagarjuna is said to have engaged in discussions with the director to embark on a new project. The duo, known for delivering numerous hits in the past, explored the possibility of a fresh collaboration during a recent meeting. According to an insider, Nagarjuna holds Kalyan Krishna in high regard for his discipline and hard work, prompting the informal discussion a few days ago.

"While Nagarjuna appreciates Kalyan Krishna's dedication, the details of their potential project are yet to be finalized," reveals the source. Kalyan Krishna, who gained prominence with successful films like 'Soggade Chinni Nayana,' 'Bangarraju,' and 'Rarandoi Veduka Chudam' alongside Nagarjuna, has established a strong bond with the Akkineni family. His expertise lies in crafting family-centric dramas enriched with elements of romance, music, and entertainment.

Known for his poignant storytelling, Kalyan Krishna initially presented Chiranjeevi with an emotionally charged family drama featuring a middle-aged father and his young son. While Chiranjeevi initially expressed enthusiasm for the project, he later reconsidered and shifted focus to his socio-fantasy film directed by Vasishta.

The director now finds himself at a crossroads, given that his film 'Nela Ticket' with Ravi Teja failed to make a significant impact. Eager for a triumphant return, Kalyan Krishna is actively seeking the right opportunity to create a compelling and entertaining cinematic experience, potentially collaborating with Nagarjuna on a project that could mark a successful comeback for both.
