Ex-lovers Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to have a face-off next year?

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan might have parted ways more than a decade ago, but that has never stopped people from digging up some link or the other between the actors.

Salman and Aishwarya, for the uninitiated, had a whirlwind relationship during the filming of the 1999 Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Some time after the film, Salman and Aishwarya broke up, and gave entertainment tabloids the fuel to survive on for more than a decade.

In 2002, Aishwarya had also alleged Salman of harassing and physically abusing her. Ever since, the exes have largely tried and avoided getting in each other's way. While Aishwarya went on to marry Abhishek Bachchan, Salman has had a string of relationships - nothing 'official', though - and is supposedly seeing Romanian TV personality Iulia Vantur these days.

However, even as Salman and Aishwarya keep out of each other's lives, seems like the Box Office gods have something else in story for them.

On the work front, Salman is currently busy with Sultan, his film on wrestling, and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil has been keeping Aishwarya on her toes. And if release date-speculations are anything to go by, Salman and Aishwarya might have a face-off on Diwali next year - at least their film will at the box office.

Sultan, which was initially planned for an Eid 2016 release, might have been moved to the Diwali 2016 slot to avoid a clash with Shah Rukh Khan's Raees. However, Ali Abbas Zafar's Sultan will have to clash with Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil if the former is released on Diwali 2016.
