Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan are likely to have a big box office clash on Jan. 26 next year. Director Sanjay Gupta has confirmed the release date of "Kaabil", and "Raees" too is expected to hit the screens on the same day. Now, fans of both the superstars have started a Twitter war of words.
Hrithik's fans began expressing their excitement after Sanjay Gupta confirmed that "Kaabil" will be released on Republic Day 2017. Soon, SRK's fans started flooding the micro-blogging site with tweets suggesting that "Raees" will wash away Hrithik's film.
Some of Shah Rukh's supporters also mocked Hrithik for the below expected performance of "Mohenjo Daro" at the box office.
On the other side, Hrithik's admirers fired back saying that "Kaabil" will shine at the box office and out-throw the SRK-starrer.
Fans of superstars often get engaged in Twitter war with some of them even turning ugly. However, a section of fans also wished that both the movies perform well at the box office.
