Although the film received a mixed response upon release, it has since developed a loyal fan following, with its songs and comic moments continuing to enjoy popularity.
Their collaborations have not been limited to feature films. Salman and Sanjay also shared hosting duties for Bigg Boss Season 5, bringing their trademark humour and easy camaraderie to television audiences. Salman later made a special cameo appearance in Son of Sardaar (2012), which featured Sanjay Dutt alongside Ajay Devgn.
Over the years, both actors have spoken warmly about each other in interviews, often acknowledging the mutual respect and trust that define their relationship. Through career milestones, personal challenges and changing phases in the industry, they have remained steadfast friends.
Salman’s latest post serves as another reminder that while stardom often comes with changing equations, some friendships continue to remain constant. His heartfelt words and affectionate tribute offered fans a rare glimpse into the personal bond the two actors have nurtured for years.
In an industry where relationships are often scrutinised, Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt continue to prove that genuine friendship can outlast changing times, making their brotherhood one of Bollywood’s most admired.
