Film producer Anand Pandit, renowned for movies like ‘Chehre,’ ‘The Big Bull,’ ‘Thank God,’ and ‘Total Dhamaal,’ hosted a grand birthday celebration on Thursday. The star-studded event saw the presence of Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, Kartik Aaryan, Tiger Shroff, Jackie Shroff, Niel Nitin Mukesh, and many others from the industry.
Notably, Salman Khan and Abhishek Bachchan, seldom seen exchanging pleasantries at public gatherings, unexpectedly crossed paths at the party. The history between the two actors dates back approximately 25 years, stemming from Salman and Aishwarya Rai’s brief relationship during the shooting of their 1998 film ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.’ Aishwarya later tied the knot with Abhishek Bachchan in 2007.”
Salman, Abhishek and Amitabh Bachchan’s Upcoming Projects
“In this year’s Diwali release, Tiger 3, Salman Khan showcased his acting prowess and currently holds the role of the host on Bigg Boss 17. Collaborating with Amitabh Bachchan in films like Baghban (2003), Salman portrayed the character of his caring son. Their on-screen partnership extended to the 2006 film Baabul and the 2008 film God Tussi Great Ho.
Abhishek Bachchan, on the other hand, took on the role of a bowling coach in this year’s Saiyami Kher-starrer Ghoomer, a film directed by R Balki.
Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan made an appearance in Ganapath with Tiger Shroff this year. Balancing his on-screen commitments, he is currently hosting the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati and is set to grace the screen in the upcoming Prabhas-starrer Kalki 2898 AD.”
