'The two hot glam-queens of the 1990s, now the yummy mummys of Bollywood, are pitched in a battle to the finish.'
Raveena Tandon will clash against Sushmita Sen on December 10 when the former's Aranyak and the latter's Aarya Season 2 start streaming on Netflix and Disney-Hotstar respectively.
Even the titles of the two shows -- Aranyak and Aarya -- sound similar.
Both shows are about two strong, powerful female heroes, played by two of Bollywood's long-lasting screen queens.
Both are working mothers, roles that they play in their respective high-budgeted serials.
While Raveena plays a gritty real cop, Sushmita is cast as a ganglord's widow, forced to take over her husband's empire.
A source from one of the two streaming giants tells Subhash K Jha, "It was planned this way. The two hot glam-queens of the 1990s, now the yummy mummys of Bollywood, are pitched in a battle to the finish. It reminds us of all those feverish Friday fights at the box office."
And may the best woman win.
