Tom Cruise and Akshay Kumar one on one: It’s clash of the matinee titans this week in Dubai. While Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise is performing death-defying stunts, Bollywood’s own action hero is in town to showcase his latest comedy Action Replayy. tabloid! indulges in a Cruise-Kumar face-off by giving you a low-down on their conquests, from women, to adrenaline-charged stunts.

Akshay Kumar: In Bollywood, there’s only one way to measure whether a guy is hot or not: On his ability to pull off a song sequence while shirtless in the rain. Kumar qualifies. From the beginning of his career, he established his greek-god status in 1992 thriller Khiladi. The scene where he strips off a white shirt and romances the heroine in a hay-stack is a must-watch. There’s been no looking back for People Magazine India’s Sexiest Man Alive.

Tom Cruise: Forget Robert Pattinson, who can forget Top Gun’s aviator-wearing, bike-riding and plane-flying hottie? Cruise captured the heart of a generation of women with his performance in the aerial action adventure film. But of late, his sex-symbol status has been dented by his bizarre scientology beliefs and couch-jumping episode. But with the all-knowing, skyscraper-scaling spy Ethan Hunt all set for a comeback, we think Cruise is set to give fans a new high.
