It appears that two consecutive Eids will see Mahira Khan clashing with the Dabang Khan of Bollywood, Salman Khan. While Mahira's Bin Roye is set to compete with Salman's Bajrangi Bhai Jaan this year, her Bollywood debut, Raees will be locking horns with his Sultan on Eid in 2016, reported Times of India.

It is interesting to see how the latter clash will be gripping because Raees stars Salman's old rival, Shahrukh Khan, alongside Mahira. Directed by Gunday famed Ali Abbas Zafar and produced by Aditya Chopra, Sultan's shooting will hit the floors this November and is slated for release around Eid 2016.

With Mahira flying in and out of India, the action-thriller, Raees, directed by Rahul Dholakia and produced by Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani and Gauri Khan is still in the process of shooting.

While it is no secret that Mahira is the leading lady for Raees, the heroine for Sultan is yet to be decided.

This will not be the first time the two Khan will be going head to head for the blockbuster mark: A few years ago, King Khan's Don was released with Salman's Jaaneman and well, Don undoubtedly was far more popular.

Although rivals since their fight in 2008, Shahrukh and Salman recently buried the hatchet as Shahrukh attended his sister's wedding and didn't hold back in launching the first look of Salman's Bajrangi Bhaijaan with Aamir Khan.

It is too early to say if the 2016 release would turn their tables again but we are certain Mahira would be no less of a competition for Salman in Pakistan.
