Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan will cross paths next year as both go on floors with their respective international projects

Based on two top selling best sellers, the actors will star in these movies and also collide on the global box-office. Here's how they are pitted against each other....

Aamir Khan

Film: Maximum City
Producer: Aamir Khan Productions
Director: Danny Boyle
Based on: Maximum City by Suketu Mehta
What's it about: Maximum City got rave reviews when it was published in 2004. The book combines elements of memoir, travel writing as well as socio-political analysis of the history and people of Mumbai.

Mehta writes as a person who is at one level, an outsider to the city and on the other hand, is the one who is born here and has lived his childhood in the city, then known as Bombay.
Goes on floor: 2011

Shah Rukh Khan

Film: Xtrme City
Producer: Anubhav Sinha
Director: Paul Schrader
Based on: Schrader's own script based on Mumbai
What's it about: Extreme City looks at the underbelly of Mumbai's slums and the people living in it. The film will be in English and Schrader spent some time living in Dharavi to get a feel of the place.

Apart from Shah Rukh there will also be a Hollywood actor. Anubhav Sinha will produce Extreme City under his own banner. Like Maximum City, this film too will have characters depicting the contrast among residents of Mumbai.
