Overview
- A throwback video of Aishwarya Rai and Akshaye Khanna performing the Taal title song in Miami in 1999 resurfaced online and went viral on Saturday, June 6, driving a fresh wave of nostalgia.
- The clip shows the two matching steps to Taal Se Taal Mila and has drawn praise for their onstage chemistry from longtime fans and new viewers alike.
- An old interview line from Akshaye in which he called Aishwarya the "sexiest" in the business has recirculated alongside the video and added to discussions of their late-1990s pairing.
- Filmmaker Subhash Ghai told Hindustan Times that the script for a Taal sequel is "almost complete" but he has not given a production greenlight and says he is prioritizing the right timing and artistic 'purity'.
- Taal (1999) is remembered for its A. R. Rahman soundtrack and the performances of Aishwarya, Akshaye and Anil Kapoor, and renewed interest could pressure makers to announce casting and a formal production timeline next.
