Come September 20, and two lovely ladies will slug it out for supremacy at the box office.The blue-eyed Kapoor gal, Karisma`s Shakti - The Power will be released by Tips. Karisma`s last release Haan... Maine Bhi Pyar Kiya was in the beginning of 2002. While Shakti has Karisma in a author-backed role, it has Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai in special appearances. The number picturised on SRK and Ash, Ishq kamina, is already a rage.

Also slated for release on September 20 is Gunaah, an action-packed thriller from Mukesh Bhatt, starring Bipasha Basu in the lead. What goes in favour of the film is that it has the winning combination of Raaz, Mukesh Bhatt, Bipasha, Dino Morea and Ashutosh Rana.

It`s been a long time since Karisma gave a hit. The last hit, Haseena Man Jayegi, was way back in 1999. Meanwhile, Bipasha has the biggest hit of 2002, Raaz; to her credit. Even her other films like Ajnabee and Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai have done average business. So, while Bipasha has to hold on to her lucky charm image, Karisma has a point to prove to her detractors who have been writing her off.
