Race 3 vs Fanney Khan: This Eid 2018, it will be Salman Khan vs Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is himself a brand and the whole industry, the audience knows that he mostly comes out with a film on Eid. Therefore, it won't be wrong to say that the festival of Eid remains booked for the superstar's film. Now his upcoming movie Race 3 is all set to hit the screens on Eid 2018 and the film went on the floors yesterday.
In the latest development, it has come to light that Salman Khan's ex-girlfriend and co-star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's next film Fanney Khan is also ready to hit the screens on Eid next year. Earlier, the film was supposed to hit the screens in April, but now it has been postponed for June alongside Race 3.
Recently, some pictures of the actress Aishwarya Rai went viral on social media from the sets of Fanney Khan in which she was looking much glamorous than her other roles. The interesting thing is that Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai are reuniting after a long time for this film and on the other hand, Anil Kapoor who has always been a part of Race series has also become a part of third franchise part. So now it is going to be Anil Kapoor vs Anil Kapoor also on Eid 2018.

Pinkvilla quoted a source related to the film, "Arjun N Kapoor, Prernaa Arora, Bhushan Kumar and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra met Aishwarya and Anil, who were happy to have a festival release. The team is aware of Race 3 also releasing on Eid, but they are confident of their film."
Even the makers of Fanney Khan has confirmed this by releasing a statement, “We have locked the release date of Fanney Khan on Eid 2018 (June 15). We decided on Eid because of the lead character Fanney Khan, played by Anil Kapoor, is a Muslim character and there’s no better day than Eid (to release it).”
