Aamir Khan has much at stake with his ambitious upcoming venture Dangal, and he is clearly in the mood to make new friends right now. While Bollywood's 'Mr Perfectionist' has never really been known to be close to superstar Shah Rukh Khan, it came as a pleasant surprise to many when reports started circulating that Aamir is all set to host a special screening of Dangal for SRK.

News was trending online says Aamir has plans to screen the film for SRK any time soon. Although the two Khans have not exactly been friends through most of their nearly two and half-decade career in Bollywood, they have been bonding bigtime lately.

For Aamir, sending out public vibes that he is friends with SRK right now would help his film tremendously. It would draw Shah Rukh's primary fan base to watching his film.

While on Shah Rukh, the superstar has been reeling in recent time, with his latest releases such as Fan and Dilwale failing to live up to expectation at the box-office. Adding a few powerful friends among peers would naturally help.

If SRK now attends a special screening of an Aamir film, it would alter the power equations in Bollywood. Aamir has been closer to Salman Khan, who was SRK's bitter rival till not long ago. May be, the rise of younger stars has made the Khans realise this is the time to stick close to each other and pool in a consecrated fan base.
