December will witness clash of Bachchans

It had happened with Rajkumar Santoshi's Khakee and Vikram Bhatt's Aetbaar. Both films starring Amitabh Bachchan were released on the same day. Now history will repeat itself. Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Eklavya and Ravi Chopra's Baabul are to be released on the same day: on December 8.

Looks like there will definitely be a clash. Trade pundits had reportedly warned the filmmakers that two films starring Amitabh Bachchan will only land up eating into each other's business. But the directors have zeroed in on the date and plan to stick to the decision of releasing their films on that particular day.

Strangely, Abhishek Bachchan-starrer Guru, reportedly based on the life of the late industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani, will hit the theatres two weeks after the senior Bachchan's films release. From that point, December surely seems to be a crucial month for the Bachchans
