In Mr. and Mrs. Khiladi (1997), Juhi Chawla played the female lead opposite Akshay Kumar, making her 'Mrs. Khiladi' in the context of the film. The comedy was directed by David Dhawan and was part of the successful Khiladi film series.

Yeh Raaste Hai Pyaar Ke (2001) featured both Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta as female leads. The film was a triangular love story also starring Ajay Devgn and Salman Khan, though it was only moderately successful at the box office.

In Wanted (2009), Salman Khan played the character named Radhe, a sharpshooter working for the underworld. The film was a remake of the Telugu film 'Pokiri' and marked a turning point in Salman's career, establishing him as an action star.

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have worked together in several films including Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005), Hello (2008), and Yuvvraj (2008). However, No Entry (2005) was an ensemble comedy starring Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan, but Katrina Kaif was not part of this cast. Therefore, No Entry is the correct answer as the film where they did not work together.

Kareena Kapoor had a well-publicized relationship with Shahid Kapur before getting involved with Saif Ali Khan. They were a couple for several years and appeared together in films like 'Jab We Met'.

Kamal Haasan won his first National Film Award for Best Actor for 'Moondram Pirai' (1982) / 'Sadma' (Hindi), his second for 'Nayakan' (1987), and his third for 'Kuruthipunal' (1995), a Tamil thriller remake of 'The Dropping Season'. 'Hey Ram' (2000) came after his third award. 'Thevar Magan' (1992) earned him a Filmfare Award but not a National Award in the Best Actor category.

A.R. Rahman's film career as a composer started with the 1992 Tamil film 'Roja' directed by Mani Ratnam. Option C correctly identifies this debut film. 'Pudhiya Mugham', 'Kizhakau chemayile', and 'Thiruda Thiruda' are other films but not his first.
