2012 Diwali Bonanza: SRK vs Akshay Kumar:Cinejwala:

This year Shah Rukh Khan dominated the Diwali’s festive season with his film ‘Ra.One’ which proved a box-office success despite of competition from Himesh Reshammiya’s film ‘Damadamm’ and Hema Malini’s directorial film ‘Tell Me O Kkhuda’. However Yash Chopra who announced his next directorial film with Shahrukh Khan in lead was assumed to release it on the eve of Diwali in the year 2012. However now they have to compete with Akshay Kumar's 'Khiladi 786' that is apparently being slated to release against Shah Rukh Khan’s film. Akshay’s film makers believe that the film being a family entertainer will have a wider scope to score on festive season like Diwali and the same eve being super lucky for Shah Rukh Khan gives its makers the obvious reason to release it on that occasion.

Interestingly the film ‘Khiladi 786’ starring Akshay Kumar in lead also star Himesh Reshammmiya who recently dared to compete with SRK on Box office by releasing his film ‘Damadamm’ opposite ‘Ra.one’. It remains to be seen what the next step is taken by these stars to avert the competition.
