Anil Kapoor: 'I can't take on Shah Rukh Khan'

Anil Kapoor has said that he would never take on Shah Rukh Khan at the box office, after Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol was rescheduled for release on the same day as Don 2.

The 24 star's latest film will now be coming out on December 23, after being shifted back from December 16.

He told The Times of India: "I cannot take on SRK. It is Tom Cruise who is taking him on.

"I have an interesting role in the movie, and of course, I will perhaps benefit from the huge publicity that will surround the film here. But don't even suggest that I am taking on SRK. He's huge."

Don 2 is the follow-up to the 2006 film, which itself was a remake of the 1978 film Don.

Shah Rukh Khan plays an accomplice to a drugs overlord who is being chased by police in several different countries.

Anil Kapoor's role in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol remains under wraps. The filmmakers have denied that he is playing a villain in the rebooted action franchise.
