Two Bachchan Sr. starrers are expected to clash on December 8: EKLAVYA — THE ROYAL GUARD and BAABUL. Initially, the producer of EKLAVYA, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, had zeroed in on the date, but Ravi Chopra too has confirmed December 8 for BAABUL. Will two Bachchan starrers make it on one Friday, like it happened in the past [KHAKEE and AETBAAR opened on the same date]?

Incidentally, two weeks later [December 22], Mani Ratnam's Abhishek Bachchan starrer GURU is expected to hit the screens. December is crucial for the Bachchans, what say?
