For Vivek Oberoi that was just the beginning of his struggle  in bollywood after a hit debut ­– Company – and another successful project ‘Saathiya’ that astounded with his affair with Aishwarya Rai whose relationship and break-up with Salman needs no mention here.

Since then the duo have been on a cold war – Vivek although apologized many a times but Salman kept a deaf ear – but come January 22, 2010, their love and hatred will get a boost, as they are slated to clash, this time on ticket window.

Salman’s magnum opus ‘Veer’ and Vivek’s ‘Prince – It’s Show Time’ will be releasing on the same day.

Earlier ‘Prince’ was lined up for a december 11 release, but due to pre-production work it was delayed to a month and if the buzz to be believed, the makers of ‘Prince’ delibrately want it to clash to garner publicity out of Salman and Vivek’s earlier conflict.

However, ‘Prince’ makers Kumar Taurani denies it, “ Why would we want to clash with ‘Veer’? Salman is a bigger star.”

Let’s wait and see the outcome of the conflict but onething is for sure, Vivek would not like such a story do the rounds. After all who wishes to be forgotten!!
