‘Main Hoon Na’ and its connection with other films
Twitter user Hitarth Desai took to the micro-blogging platform and shared how Farah Khan gave a green signal to Masoom in ‘Main Hoon Na’ by having Naseeruddin Shah play the father who faces problems in his marriage because of his illegitimate son. “She also names his character ‘Shekhar’ after the director ‘Shekhar Kapoor’,” he wrote.

The movie also had a spoof of the famous Gabbar scene with the SAME background music.
This scene is staged as a parody of the infamous Gabbar scene – The walk, the laugh, the dialogues. They've even used that exact BGM from Sholay. pic.twitter.com/HL1LWMBI57
