Akshaye and Aishwarya had first worked together in Aa Ab Laut Chale before reuniting for Subhash Ghai’s Taal. Their pairing in the film was widely appreciated at the time, and the viral stage performance has now brought back memories of their late-90s screen presence.

When Akshaye Khanna Said He Couldn’t Take His Eyes Off Aishwarya Rai

In an old interview during the promotions of Ittefaq, Akshaye Khanna had spoken candidly about Aishwarya Rai’s beauty. When Karan Johar asked him, “Who do you think is the sexiest girl in the business right now?” Akshaye instantly named Aishwarya.

He said, “Ash. I can’t take my eyes off her every time I meet her. It’s embarrassing for men. She must be used to it, people staring at her. But I am not used to not being able to take my eyes off somebody. You just keep staring at her like a lunatic.”

The old remark has also resurfaced alongside the viral Miami clip, adding to the renewed interest around their pairing.

Subhash Ghai On Taal Sequel

Meanwhile, filmmaker Subhash Ghai recently revealed that a sequel to Taal is closer to becoming a reality. In an interaction with Hindustan Times, the veteran director said that he has been asked about revisiting the film for several years.

He said, “The post I shared has a question, and the audience will answer it. I have been facing this question for 15 years, ‘When are you going to make Taal again?’ Uss Taal ki jo energy hai, kitni powerful hai ki aaj ke Gen-Z bhi mujhe bol rahe hain Taal banaiye. But the easier the subject of Taal seems, the more difficult it is in reality. Uska poora script hum almost complete kar chuke hain aur abhi hum soch rahe hain yeh sahi samay hai, maybe we should make it. In order to make it, purity is very important.”

Originally released in 1999, Taal starred Aishwarya Rai, Akshaye Khanna and Anil Kapoor in lead roles. The film went on to become a cult musical romance, with A.R. Rahman’s soundtrack continuing to remain one of its biggest strengths.
