A cold war to spark off between - (once good friends) John Abraham and Arshad Warsi. John didn't take it too well when he realised that Arshad was getting equal footage in Vivek Agnihotri's Goal. The friction became difficult to ignore when John refused to hug Arshad in one of the scenes. A source from the unit of Goal reveals, "The scene required John to hug Arshad, but John refused outright. Instead, he asked Vivek to change the scene. Vivek blatantly snapped, 'Please keep your personal problems aside and then come to work.' Arshad kept his cool and he didn't show any disrespect for John.Finally, Vivek re-worked many scenes to make sure that John gets the limelight. Arshad seems to be upset, but prefers not to talk about it. But director Vivek Agnihotri says, "This is untrue. Nothing happened on the sets of Goal, and I don't have any idea about John and Arshad fighting. I don't know if they have personal problems, but they were extremely professional and didn't give me any trouble."
