Back in 2008, Shatner caused a bit of a fuss after claiming he wasn't invited to Takei's wedding - but the 78-year-old actor still insists Shatner was invited, reported New York Times.
Takei - who is preparing for his new Broadway musical Allegiance - said Shatner "pumps up the so-called controversy" between them for publicity.
"Two months after my wedding, he went on YouTube and ranted and raved about our not sending him an invitation," he explained.
"We had. If he had an issue, he could have easily just phoned us before the wedding, simple as that. But he didn't. And the reason he raised that fuss two months later is because he was premiering his new talk show, Raw Nerve."
Takei also described Shatner as "difficult" to work with during their Star Trek days, saying he wasn't a team player.
"The rest of the cast all understand what makes a scene work - it's everybody contributing to it. But Bill is a wonderful actor, and he knows it, and he likes to have the camera on him all the time," he continued.
"It's not tension, it's all coming from Bill. Whenever he needs a little publicity for a project, he pumps up the so-called controversy between us."
