The pairing of Akshay Kumar and Madhuri Dixit is a rare event in Bollywood, with the actors only appearing together in one film. This film, titled ‘Aarzoo,’ was released in 1999. The movie also starred Saif Ali Khan, with a supporting cast that included veteran actors like Amrish Puri and Paresh Rawal.
Directed by Lawrence D’Souza, ‘Aarzoo’ was made on a budget of 8 crore rupees. Despite the star power, the film failed to perform well at the box office, earning less than 6 crore rupees in India. This resulted in the film being declared a box office flop.
Before ‘Aarzoo,’ Akshay Kumar made a cameo appearance in the movie ‘Dil To Pagal Hai,’ starring Madhuri Dixit, Shah Rukh Khan, and Karisma Kapoor.
