It's official! Salman's Tiger Zinda Hai to clash with Ranbir's Dutt biopic

Mumbai: While the industry is yet to see who emerges victorious in the upcoming titanic clash between Shah Rukh Khan's 'Raees' and Hrithik Roshan's 'Kaabil,' another humongous clash has been announced.

Salman Khan's 'Tiger Zinda Hai,' Ali Abbas Zafar's sequel to Kabir Khan's 2012 blockbuster 'Ekk Tha Tiger,' has announced its release date.

The film will have a Christmas release, on December 22, 2017.

And guess which other film is coming on the same weekend?

Rajkumar Hirani's highly anticipated Sanjay Dutt biopic, which will have Ranbir Kapoor in the lead. Now on one is oblivious to the friction between the two stars, with the much publicised history to them.

Ranbir had been in a relationship with Katrina Kaif, Salman's ex for a good six years.

The two have not been on talking terms ever since. Salman had featured in Ranbir's debut venture 'Saawaraiya,' and also did a cameo in 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani,' which incidentally also starred Katrina.

While there's a lot of buzz surrounding both the films, this clash goes beyond a mere number game, as for once, it might be personal.

2016 also saw two such clashes in 'Rustom'-'Mohenjo Daro,' and 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'-'Shivaay'. On both occasions, one film emerged victorious while the other tanked.

It remains to be seen how this pans out, if either of the two parties involved would be willing to reschedule.
