They may be rivals, but off screen they are friends forever. In a recent hush-hush meeting, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan have decided to avoid any box office clash between their flicks. Interestingly, Rajinikanth's Kochadaiyaan and Kamal Haasan's Viswaroopam are scheduled to hit screens post Deepavali.

But it has now been decided that Kamal's Viswaroopam will hit screens first which will be followed by Kochadaiyaan. Sources say that at the meeting Kamal has agreed to advance the release of Viswaroopam while Kochadaiyaan is still undergoing rigorous post-production.

According to the new schedule Viswaroopam will hit screens in October and Kochadaiyaan in December.
