Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan will battle it out at the box office this January. The new year will begin on a high note for us as two much-awaited flicks, Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil and Shah Rukh Khan's Raees, are releasing in the second week of the month, a leading entertainment site has stated.

Since Hrithik was allegedly undergoing many personal and health attacks, there were rumours about Kaabil being postponed, but that's definitely not the case, the site added.

Roshan Jr's co-star in the movie, Yami Gautam, dismissed the rumours by telling the site, "Not at all. It’s absolutely not true. In fact, the film’s shoot is going really well. We have just wrapped up a song shoot. Moreover, as I have always said it’s amazing to work with Hrithik, especially when we are shooting a dance sequence with him."

Director Sanjay Gupta also took to his social media page to confirm the status of the movie, by saying, "?#KAABIL shooting nonstop for a month now including Sundays till we wrap next month. Dear MIDDAY you do not call that slowing down."

The movie is said to be moving at a breakneck speed to wrap up its schedule before its January release, the site stated.

The flick is supposed to be based on a Korean movie and a Netflix original series. While its BO race contender Raees is an underworld drama that blurs the lines among black, white, and grey characters.

We are excited for both fares. What about you guys? Let's us know which one you're eagerly waiting for...
