In our country, it has become somewhat of a tradition to release a potential blockbuster on a festive occasion. This festive season is usually when a movie stars battle at the Box-office, and it's interesting to see who emerges as the winner.

Next year in the slate of Diwali releases, Akshay Kumar will be squaring off against Kangana Ranaut. Akshay will star as Prithviraj Chauhan in Yash Raj Films' 'Prithviraj'. The film will be directed by Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi (television show 'Chanakya' and film 'Pinjar')

Kangana Ranaut will be leading female-centric action-adventure flick 'Dhaakad', going all guns blazing against the Khiladi of Bollywood. Before their Box-Office fight, Akshay Kumar will star in 'Houseful 4' and Kangana will be seen in sports-drama 'Panga' slated for 2020 release.
