It seems Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan’s rivalry will see the light of an open air, massive war at the box office this time. Keeping aside the love and the bear hugs, the competitors are all set to have a real clash at the box office this Eid.

After Chennai Express‘ success, it seems SRK too has become superstitious ala Aamir Khan and has insisted on locking the Eid release for his film.

Though Happy New Year director Farah Khan wasn’t extremely pleased with the decision, reported sources, King Khan was able to convince her after much insistence. Clearly such a big clash would mean loss of audience for both film. Salman who has reigned the Eid scenario for years before Chennai Express hit the market last year, might face stiff competition this time. So who will be your choice this Eid – Sallu or SRK.

Now that you’ve read the whole piece and you are in a shock/disbelief paradise, it would be terrible if you miss out the disclaimer.
