The war between Amitabh Bachchan [Images] and Shah Rukh Khan [Images] seems to have gained new steam after a recent post on the former's blog. According to his blog, Bachchan said he is puzzled over the falling TRP ratings for SRK's [Images] television show, Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hai, and asked bloggers to find out why.

'Why is there a depleted performance despite the presence of the biggest name in the business?' he wrote.

Making subtle hints, Bachchan claimed that his television show, Kaun Banega Crorepati was a huge success, while the TRPs kept plummeting when SRK hosted the show later.

'KBC 1 ran non-stop for almost two years and then with an adequate break the 2 and the 3. I am unable to understand its falling interest as the graphs show despite the fact that they were presented by bigger and more popular stars, namely Shah Rukh,' he said.

He went on to write about Paanchvi Pass, saying, 'And now to see Paanchvi Pass, or as one rival channel executive sniggered, Paanchvi Fail, after its not too encouraging numbers, facing relative lower ratings is what I wish to debate... Despite the presence of the biggest name in the business, why its depleted performance?'

Seems like the war is in the public domain now.
