Box office face-off

Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar's Raksha Bandhan are headed for a clash on August 11. Trade sources claim that Aamir Khan is set to finalise a two-week deal with a national multiplex chain to book the biggest auditoriums and maximum shows of his Forrest Gump remake. How the Raksha Bandhan makers will counter this move remains to be seen. Aamir and Akshay had a face-off in cinemas in 2007 with Taare Zameen Par and Welcome respectively.

It will be a while before Sonam K Ahuja returns on the big screen again. Meanwhile, she will soon be seen on Karan Johar's chat show.
