John Abraham clashes with girlfriend Bipasha

Bollywood's most sizzling actors have long been envied their rock-solid relationship, which has weathered nine years of rumour and speculation.

And having survived all the ups and downs of a relationship, John Abraham and longtime girlfriend Bipasha Basu are finally set to clash -- in public, and at the box office. On October 15, the pair go head-to-head  with "Jhootha Hi Sahi" and "Aakrosh" releasing on the same day.

Basu stars opposite Ajay Devgn in Aakrosh, which is based on honor killings in the state of Haryana. Originally set to be released on October 1, its release has been delayed with widespread exectations of civil unrest mounting across the country as a High Court in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh is set to rule on a bitter Hindu-Muslim dispute over who owns a holy site claimed by both groups in the town of Ayodhya.

Instead, "Akrosh" must now compete with the John Abraham vehicle "Jhoota Hi Sahi", which  is produced by Abbas Tyrewala and directed by debutante Pakhi Tyrewala.

So who will outshine the other?
