Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mahesh Bhatt essentially remade his own 1993 film Gumrah with a twin twist instead of mistaken identity, proving even directors get sequel fatigue.
SRK reportedly developed distinct walks for each character — Bablu with a slight bounce, Manu with a predatory lean — so crew could tell them apart on set without costumes.
