What's the story
Bollywood fans assemble, for Diljit Dosanjh and Kangana Ranaut's upcoming films are set to clash at the box office on June 12. The two actors had previously engaged in a Twitter feud over their differing views on the farmers' protest in 2020.

Previous clash
Previous box office clash between Dosanjh and Ranaut
Interestingly, this isn't the first time Dosanjh and Ranaut have clashed at the box office. On July 26, 2019, Dosanjh's Arjun Patiala was released alongside Ranaut's Judgementall Hai Kya. The former was a spoof cop comedy directed by Rohit Jugraj while the latter was a black comedy starring Rajkummar Rao, Amyra Dastur, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Amrita Puri. It's yet to be seen if this latest face-off will lead to increased footfalls for either film.
