He (Karan) has come on board as a co-producer."

Ex-lovers set for box office clash!

New Delhi, April 23 -- Although they never confirmed their relationship officially, actors Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra had the rumour mills buzzing with their hush-hush affair during the shooting of their film, Kaminey (2009).

Now, after their alleged break-up, the two are slated to clash at the box office with their respective films during the October 2 weekend.    

Trade experts say this move could affect their films' box office collections. "If two films - regardless of the stars that feature in these - are released on the same date, the business will get affected," says trade analyst Taran Adarsh.    

While the release date of Priyanka's film (Mary Kom biopic) was made public a few days ago, makers of Vishal Bhardwaj's Haider, starring Shahid, have now announced the same weekend as their release date, too.

Ad guru Prahlad Kakkar suspects it to be a marketing stunt. "It could be the figment of a publicist's imagination. But a movie-goer won't think about such things before buying the tickets. Plus, both films are completely different from each other," Kakkar says.

Whenever she feels like eating something, she makes sure that the entire set gets to eat with her, which is one of the reasons she is a favourite with the unit members.
