Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan to clash on Eid 2016

Eid of 2016 will see the clash of the titans as Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan will go head to head at the box-office. Movies of both stars Raees, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Sultan, starring Salman Khan are scheduled to be released on the same day of Eid 2016. Recently, Ali Abbas Zafar, the director of movie 'Sultan', confirmed that the movie will in fact release on Eid of 2016. "So Here is finally @BeingSalmanKhan in as SULTAN EID 2016," he tweeted. Ritesh Sidhwani, producer of 'Raees', has stated that he has no plans of rescheduling the upcoming film's Eid 2016 release to avoid clash with Salman Khan's 'Sultan'. "We had announced in February that we will be releasing our film on EID 2016 and we are on schedule to release it as planned #RaeesOnEid2016," Ritesh tweeted. He along with Farhan Akhtar and Gauri Khan are producing the film under the banners of Excel Entertainment and Red Chillies Entertainment, while Sultan is produced by Aditya Chopra. Generally, the Khans, whose films are big ticket events, avoid releasing their films on the same date with Salman preferring Eid, Shah Rukh Diwali and Aamir for Christmas.
