The duo, who delivered several beloved hits together including Tezaab (1988), Ram Lakhan (1989), Parinda (1989), Beta (1992), and Pukar (2000), remain one of Hindi cinema's most cherished on-screen pairings.

Director Nag Ashwin has confirmed that work on Kalki 2 is moving ahead, with filming set to resume next month. "Kalki 2 has already begun. We are making preparations to continue shooting from next month and complete it at a rapid pace," he said. The sequel will see Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan reprise their roles as the story heads towards the much-anticipated showdown with Supreme Yaskin. The makers are reportedly targeting a December 2027 theatrical release after an extensive post-production phase.
Saif Ali Khan has opened up about the pressures facing star kids in today's film industry, saying his children, Sara and Ibrahim, are entering a far less forgiving era than the one he experienced. Calling the industry "extremely competitive", he added, "People are less forgiving now certainly than they were." Saif noted that success in films requires both hard work and good fortune, stressing that today's actors face constant scrutiny and far greater expectations than previous generations.
