/> It's all about getting the sequel to the theatres first. Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi are both vying to get the sequels to their respective children's flick in place. Fast.

We don't know if Viveik Oberoi was inspired by Salman Khan to produce a children's film. But the two stars who love to hate one another, are now locked in a battle to the finishing-line with their two prized products for children.

Vikas Behl's Chillar Party which was co-produced by Salman and Mangesh Hadawale's Dekh Indian Circus which was co-produced by Vivek Oberoi are locked in a strange and unexpected fight to the finish.

Though Chillar Party was completed and released much before Dekh Indian Circus the two films have been competing for the same eyeballs in different parts of the world. The climactic flourish for both the films was at the just-concluded International Children's Film Festival in Hyderabad where both Salman and Vivek's films won top awards.

Both the stars were expected to make an appearance at the Festival, but stayed away apparently presuming the other would be present.

Says a reliable source, "It's become a matter of tremendous pride and prejudice to both stars. Both Salman and Vivek love kids and are extremely happy with the film that they've produced and the way it has progressed at film festivals. "

And now both the films are gearing for sequels, apparently both determined to make it into theatres first.

According to a source, Salman and Vivek have both urged their directors to do a sequel a.s.a.p in order to get into theatres first.

Chillar Party director Vikas Bahl confirms he's scripting the sequel to Chillar Party 2. "Salman is on board for the sequel. He will be helping us with the sequel in every way possible. "

Ditto Vivek who has informed the director of Dekh Indian Circus that the sequel should be done as fast as possible.

Confirms the softspoken simple director Mangesh Hadawale, "Yes I am doing a sequel to Dekh Indian Circus. It's called Ranveer. And yes, Vivek is very much on board. "

It remains to be seen which of the two stars get to fulfil their encore-fantasy first.
