Starring Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Shilpa Shetty and Raageshwari in the lead roles and Shakti Kapoor, Johnny Lever and Kader Khan in supporting roles. The film became one of the five highest-grossing Indian films of the year. The film is partly inspired by the 1991 American film The Hard Way. The film's success cemented Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan’s status as Bollywood's leading men, and a successful pair of bankable stars following Yeh Dillagi (1994), which was their first collaboration. Kumar in particular, who also had 1994 hits like Mohra, Suhaag, and Elaan, gained a considerable fan following, especially among the youth. He became renowned for his thrilling action scenes featuring martial arts and hand-to-hand combat; his daring stunts; his athletic dance moves and his rugged, macho good looks. The film also marked the iconic co-actor buddy pairs of Kumar and Khan. Khan's performance in the film earned him a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the 40th Filmfare Awards.
