Akshay Kumar-Hrithik Roshan heading for a big clash

With half of the year well nigh over, filmmakers in Bollywood are vying to book the best release dates for their films, particularly during the festival season that begins in November.

Director Rohit Shetty has already fixed November 5 (Diwali weekend) for the release of his next comedy film Golmaal 3. But the big clash in November will be between Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan on the 19th of the month when their respective films Patiala House and Guzaarish release together.

High expectations are attached to Guzaarish, which sees director Sanjay Leela Bhansali returning to direction after Saawariya. On the other hand, Akshay is going to be a crowd puller no less, given the feelgood theme of Patiala House, directed by Nikhil Advani.

Though November is still far and release dates might be readjusted in the coming months, a clash between Hrithik and Akshay seems unavoidable at the moment.
