Trivia

Album

• This film was part of Akshay Kumar's "Khiladi" franchise. The other films in this series were "Khiladi" (1992), "Sabse Bada Khiladi" (1995), "Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi" (1996), "Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi" (1997), "International Khiladi" (1999), "Khiladi 420" (2000) and "Khiladi 786" (2012).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
• The plot of this film was inspired by the Hollywood film "The Hard Way" (1991).
• Ashok Row Kavi, the editor of the gay magazine Bombay Dost, had published a review of this film stating that it was a gay movie. This had not gone down well with Saif Ali Khan who had called the editor and given him a piece of his mind. Things got worse when Kavi mocked Khan's mother, Sharmila Tagore, on the TV show "Nikki Tonight". Saif showed up at Kavi's house and physically assaulted him and his mother. Kavi's utterances in "Nikki Tonight" had other consequences as well - it caused a political uproar that led to the Star TV channel cancelling the show.[8][9]
• Many cast and crew members of this film worked together again in the film "Keemat - They Are Back" (1998). This was referenced in the film's tagline "They are back". Both the films were produced under the Venus banner, directed by Sameer Malkan, written by Sachin Bhowmick and featured actors Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Johnny Lever and Raveena Tandon.[10]

Song

• Chura Ke Dil Mera Goriya Chali - Voice samples of this song and another Bollywood hit, "Pardesi Pardesi" ("Raja Hindustani", 1996), were used by the American composer and producer Ethan Stoller in his track BKAB which featured in the end credits of the Wachowski Brothers film "V For Vendetta" (2005).[11]
• Chura Ke Dil Mera Goriya Chali - The tune of the mukhda of the song "Teri Chaahat Ke Deeewane Hue Hum" ("Mr. Aashiq", 1996) may have been inspired by this song.[12]
• Paas Woh Aane Lage Zara Zara - The tune of this Anu Malik song may have been inspired by the song "Kaisi Padi Maar Aaya Maza" ("Vachan", 1974) composed by Shankar - Jaikishan. Both songs were written by Hasrat Jaipuri, Anu Malik's uncle.[13]
• Zuban Khamosh Hoti Hai - This song was shot but not included in the final version of the film.
• My Adorable Darling - Anu Malik adapted the first line of his song "O Radha Tere Bina" ("Radha Ka Sangam", 1992) for this song.[14]
• Main Khiladi Tu Anadi - Anu Malik's rap lines in this song "Lovely haseen koi decent dhoondhenge, Not temporary permanent dhoondenge" became the basis of the hook lines of another Anu Malik song - "Sunder Susheel" ("Dum Laga Ke Haisha", 2015).[15]
