Though Son Of Sardaar is now popular as one of Ajay Devgn's best titles, it was originally registered for an Akshay Kumar movie. Yes, that's true, Khiladi Kumar had blocked the title 'Son Of Sardaar' for a script. It was Akki's kind gesture that allowed Ajay Devgn to use the title. 

When Akshay Kumar called Ajay Devgn 'brother from another mother'

Sonakshi Sinha, who played the female lead in Son of Sardaar, took to her micro-blogging handle Twitter (now X) in 2011 and expressed her gratitude to Akshay Kumar. The actress tweeted, "Big thank you to the Rowdy Rathore Akshay Kumar for letting us have his title - Son of Sardaar! Ur a rockstar." Replying to the same, Akshay Kumar mentioned that Ajay is his brother from another mother. "You are Welcome, but I'm not a Rock Star, darling Ranbir (Ranbir Kapoor) is, I'm a Son of Sardar, that is why I gave it to my 'Brother from a Different Mother' Ajay. Enjoy (sic)," wrote Akshay Kumar.
