Among SRK's first big-screen roles, the movie is frequently cited as a turning point in his career. Baazigar completed 30 in 2023, was both Shilpa's and Kajol's (Priya) first appearance in mainstream Hindi cinema, and it also served as a career-defining milestone for Priya.

Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Shilpa Shetty-starrer cult classic film Baazigar is all set for a re-release in cinemas. The romantic revenge thriller was directed by Abbas-Mustan.
