As soon as Bachchan was spotted outside Dharmendra's home, paparazzi rushed towards him and captured the moment on their cameras. The same pictures and videos are now going viral on social media. Amitabh and Dharmendra's fans also shared their emotional reactions, referencing their loved characters of Jai and Veeru from the classic Sholay. One of them said, "Dekh Veeru, tera Jai aa gaya", while another added, "Veeru se milne Jai khud aaya hai. Yeh dosti koi nahi tod sakta."
