What happens

Jai Kishen is a 1994 Bollywood action drama film directed by Sunil Agnihotri. It stars Akshay Kumar in a dual role, Ayesha Julka and Chandni. It was the first film where Akshay Kumar appeared in a dual role. Kumar plays twin brothers separated as children, with one character portrayed as a visually impaired but skilled swordsman and the other as a streetwise criminal. Kumar later played a visually impaired character again in Aankhen (2002). The film was a below average grosser at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
