Imran takes a dig at Ranbir

Before we see Ranbir Kapoor essay the role, Imran Khan attempts to get one up on his rival by copying the look in a promotional video of Delhi Belly

They say imitation is the best form of flattery but in Bollywood it's the best way to get one up on a rival or at least try to. This time it's between Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan.

The duo, who were thick-as-thieves, had a fallout after Imran's then fiancée made comments about Ranbir's performance in Rajneeti.

The tensions escalated when the media reported that Ranbir was passing on all his rejected brands to Aamir's nephew.

Now, as Ranbir has made his mark as an actor and Imran as a charmer, the latest turn of events is sure to fuel the feud up again.

First, Aamir decided to turn Imran into an item boy like Ranbir in the children's movie, Chillar Party. If this was not enough, Imran's mimicry goes one step further as he takes on a rockstar avatar for the promotional item number in Delhi Belly, a little before the Ranbir starrer Rockstar releases.

Our source told us, "The music video encapsulates three guys- with Imran essaying a rockstar. Vir Das and Kunal Kapoor are the other two guys in the video.

While Ranbir still has to wait for the film to be released with Imtiaz Ali, Imran has already played one, although only in a video.

Incidentally, Ranbir and Imran have shared a love-hate relationship in the recent past and although both say that all is well between the two, it is simply not true. With Imran pulling a fast one like this, Ranbir is surely not going to take it lying down."
