Both films are going to release next year on Eid. "We have now become friends, so everything we will do together. For you all it is clash, but not for us. We both are going to do well then. There might be a business clash but there will be equal profit for us," Shah Rukh told reporters here at an event.

Directed by Rahul Dholakia, Raees, an action-thriller, has SRK paired opposite Pakistani newcomer Mahira Khan along with Farhan Akhtar and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. While Salman's Sultan will be produced by Aditya Chopra.

In 2006, Shah Rukh's Don and Salman's Jaan-E-Mann had released around the same time. While Don was a hit, the latter failed to create magic at the box office. SRK and Salman have warmed up to each other over the years. Now they are often seen appreciating each other professionally and personally.

At the trailer launch, Salman had thanked the King Khan and Aamir Khan for their support.

"I loved what they did for me. Lots of love and respect to them. It's because of Aamir and Shah Rukh that our film (Bajrangi Bhaijaan) has got eyeballs...extra interest. They are my buddy brothers," Salman had said.
