New Delhi: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan mentored actress Deepika Padukone when she entered the film industry. Deepika debuted opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Om Shaanti Om'. Whenever the two came together on screen, be it Chennai Express or Happy New Year, audiences went back satisfied.
But, in a twist of fate, this time SRK and Deepika will be seen clashing each other at the box office on 18th December, with the respective releases of ‘Dilwale' and ‘Bajirao Mastani'.

There were rumours that Deepika requested SRK to delay the release of ‘Dilwale' as it would jeopardise her project. However, Deepika rubbished these rumours soon enough.
On SRK's 50th birthday yesterday, the superstar was asked about the big clash near Christmas. To this he replied, “If Deepika is my lucky charm, she will work for me on the 18th. It is not good that we are coming together. But now that we are coming on the same day, we hope both the movies have a long run. I have full love, respect and wishes for the Bajirao Mastani team.”
Both the movies depict two different eras. While ‘Dilwale' is a rom-com about the present age, ‘Bajirao Mastani' tells the epic saga of Peshwa ruler Bajirao. Let's see which one of the two movie fares well at the box office. Only time will decide that.
