Akshay Kumar's most iconic film from the 1990s Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi' completes 25 years tomorrow. Upon the eve of the film's silver jubilee, Akshay took to Twitter to share trivia about the movie. Many assumed that the real Undertaker had made his Bollywood debut opposite Akshay but it was wrester Brian Lee who essayed The Undertaker's role."A hilarious note to mark 25 years to the release of #KhiladiyonKaKhiladi tomorrow! A fun fact though: it was wrestler Brian Lee who played The Undertaker in the film," he tweeted. The meme has images of Akshay along with popular wrestlers, including Triple H and Brock Lesnar.

For the unversed, Brian Lee is also a wrestler but appeared as an Undertaker impersonator in a few matches in 1994. When Mark's real Undertaker returned, he beat the impersonator version in the ring, reclaiming his identity. Speaking of 'Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi', the film, which will complete 25 years tomorrow (June 14), also starred Rekha and Raveena Tandon in the lead roles. It was directed by Umesh Mehra and was the fourth instalment in the Khiladi series. Some of Akki's notable Khiladi films include, 'Main Khiladi Tu Anari' (1994), 'Sabse Bada Khiladi' (1995), 'Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi' (1996), 'Mr. and Mrs. Khiladi' (1997), 'International Khiladi' (1999), 'Khiladi 420' (2000), and 'Khiladi 786' (2012). On the work front, Akshay is awaiting the release of Sooryavanshi, an action drama by Rohit Shetty. He will star with Katrina Kaif in the film with Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn essaying cameo roles.
