Bollywood's biggest clash! While we all enjoy the annual clash of the Khans, it will be former lovers Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who will face it off at the box office next year. Khan's 'Race 3' and Aishwarya's 'Fanney Khan', are both scheduled to release on June 15, next year. The face-off comes as the juiciest piece of entertainment, given both the actors' history.
A statement released by KriArj Entertainment, producers of 'Fanney Khan', said, “We have locked the release date of 'Fanney Khan' on Eid 2018 (June 15). We decided on Eid because the lead character Fanney Khan, played by Anil Kapoor, is a Muslim character and there's no better day than Eid.” A source said, “It will be an exciting clash, since Aishwarya and Salman's relationship continues to hold the audience's attention, even years after it went kaput. While Salman boasts of tremendous box-office pull, Ash and Anil too have a huge fan following and will draw the audiences to the theatres.”
While the muhurat for 'Race 3' has been completed, kick-starting the shoot, work on 'Fanney Khan' meanwhile, has already begun. Ash and Salman dated for two years, from 1999 to 2001. Things however, soon turned sour, with reports of the 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' actor banging on her door to be let in till 3 in the night. There are also reports of Ash being physically assaulted during the break up phase. While bygones are bygones and both the actors lead happy lives separately, we can't resist the excitement of a film stand-off between the two.
