This crossover marks a significant reunion in the history of Indian Cinema, serving as an on-screen reunion for Hrithik Roshan and Rajinikanth exactly 40 years after the 1986 action drama 'Bhagwaan Dada'.

In which he played the character Govind Dada, the adopted son of the protagonist, Bhagwaan, played by Rajinikanth.

This role is among Hrithik's earliest screen appearances as a child actor.
