Trivia
- The film's title was changed from 'International Khiladi' to 'Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi' in some overseas markets to avoid confusion with Akshay Kumar's earlier 'Khiladi' series films.
- Akshay Kumar performed a dangerous stunt where he hung from a helicopter without a body double, which was widely reported in film magazines at the time.
- The movie features a cameo by veteran actor Prem Chopra, who plays a small but pivotal role as a crime lord.
- It was one of the few films where actress Twinkle Khanna, later Akshay Kumar's wife, appeared in a special dance number rather than a lead role.
- The soundtrack included a song, 'Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai', that became popular despite the film's mixed box office performance.
- Director Umesh Mehra had previously worked with Akshay Kumar in the 1997 film 'Mr. and Mrs. Khiladi', making this a reunion.
- The film's climax was shot in a specially constructed set designed to resemble a lavish palace, which was expensive for its time.
