KARACHI: King of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan and Bollywood star Ajay Devgan will compete for their movies on this November.

According to media sources, Director Ashwani Dheer’s “Son of Sardar”, starring Devgan and Yash Chopra’s untitled project, starring Khan has been scheduled to be released on November 14.

Sources added that the buzz has been doing the rounds that Khan and Chopra have already told the distributors to book the same number of screens for Yash Chopra's film as for Salman Khan's “Ek Tha Tiger”.

This means that more than half the theatres will be playing SRK's film, leaving Devgan little room at the ticket window.

Akshaye Rathi, a distributor tweeted, “Yashji's film has already been signed for all the cinemas across India which is playing Ek Tha Tiger. That takes away the best ones!”

Another source added, "When there are stars like SRK and Ajay involved, that too when it's a Diwali release, it becomes a tough call for us. When we are asked to give one film as many shows as Salman's solo release, we are in a fix. Because here we have two big stars and two big films to showcase. However, SRK and Yashji's film will take more shows both in multiplexes and single screen theatres."

Sources also added that Chopra has been ruling Bollywood box office for the last forty years so theatre owners will be happier to screen his movies.

Let’s see what will happen this November.
