SRK-Ranbir together for cola

Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor may soon come together for a cola ad. It is said the big budget ad will be shot in the coming weeks. Others have been where Ranbir currently is —stars like Kajol, Aishwarya, Juhi, Saif, Shahid and John have all worked with SRK on ads in the past.
Nevertheless, it’s a first for Ranbir, both as an ad film as well as working with Shah Rukh. Incidentally, SRK’s Om Shanti Om and Ranbir’s Saawariya had an unforgettable box office clash. While audiences have clearly forgotten the Kapoor lad’s debut, wonder if it’s all bygones for Ranbir as well.
