Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This remains the only film where Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan shared screen time—a collision of South Indian superstardom and rising Bollywood perfectionism that somehow happened in 1995.
The film was pitched as India's answer to The Godfather but plays more like a soap opera with machine guns, complete with musical numbers that Coppola wisely skipped.
