Akshay Kumar's first major hit which established him as an actor.
Was the first film produced by music label Venus. After its release Venus had 6 productions launched. One was Baazigar.
The film had inspiration from 1975 Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh's hit Khel Khel Mein which was directed by Ravi Tandon.
Was a huge success at the box- office and the 10th highest grossing movie of the year 1992.
Deepak Tijori went to the media and insisted that he was the hero of Khiladi and he was the main reason it was a hit. This upset Akshay but he remained quiet.
