Both the films tasted success at the box office and are known for their chartbuster music.

Meanwhile, Suniel Shetty is quite excited about his son Ahan making his Bollywood debut with a Sajid Nadiadwala film and was earlier quoted as saying by ETimes, "I think I am the one who cared till the time he was in the right hands. I was very clear and Ahan was very clear that his dream would be a Sajid Nadiadwala. Because he has held my hands when I first started but I am seeing the way he is holding Tiger's (Tiger Shroff) hand. A mentor is the one who believes that even if his child falls the first time he will hold him and that is what Sajid Nadiadwala is."

He had further added that if Ahan works hard and luck is on his side then nothing can stop him.
