- One of the most recognisable directing teams in Bollywood is Abbas-Mustan.
- Before finally securing a picture starring Jeetendra, named Agneekaal,
- the duo battled in their early stages because they couldn’t get any actors or producers on board for the first two years.
They produced a number of classic movies, including Baazigar, Ajnabee Baadshah, Aitraaz, Race, Race 2, and Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon. The filmmakers spoke candidly about their experience in Bollywood, including dealing with rejection, difficulties, and working with numerous actors, in an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla.

The most recent Pinkvilla presentation, Cult Creators, which honours the contribution of Indian filmmakers to the Indian Film Industry, included Abbas and Mustan Burmawalla. They both talked fervently about how much they adored movies and the movies they created. Salman Khan, one of India’s biggest showmen and the most adored “Bhaijaan,” was one of the actors they were asked to discuss in one of the parts. On the commercially successful film Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, the two collaborated with Salman. They stated: “Kamaal hai. Maze mein hai. Any time moody. Bas bolta hai shaam ko aao, raat ko aao, raat ko milte hai” which loosely translates as “He is amazing. He is fun. He is always moody. He keeps saying, ‘come in the evening, come in the night, let’s meet at night”.
According to what the directors said, they have a warm and fascinating relationship with the actor.

The last movie on which Abbas-Mustan collaborated was Machine, a Kiara Advani and Mustafa Burmawalla production. Unfortunately, the movie bombed both critically and financially. They are currently working on an unnamed movie with an ensemble cast, including Bobby Deol and Arjun Rampal as its stars. Salman Khan’s upcoming film, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, will be released on December 30. After that, while script work is ongoing on Pawanputra Bhaijaan and Dabangg 4, he will appear in Tiger 3 and No Entry Mein Entry.
