Sajid Nadiadwala on Dual Endings
At the trailer launch event, Sajid Nadiadwala revealed that he had been considering multiple endings for nearly 30 years. He explained, “I always wondered how audiences would react if a film — especially a thriller — kept the identity of the villain hidden until the very end, and even then, left them guessing.”
