In what can be termed as a clash of the beauty queens, Aishwarya Rai and Sushmita Sen will battle it out in theatres for the first time, in their decade-old film careers.

Sushmita's Vaastu Shastra and Aishwarya's Raincoat are up for release on the same day. Who wins the audience hearts is what will decide who wins this round.

According to insiders though, Sushmita probably has an edge over Ash because of the fact that she is better rated as an actress.
