Late filmmaker Yash Chopra’s Chandni is one of the most loved romantic-musicals of Bollywood. Featuring late stars Rishi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna and Sridevi in lead roles, songs of the film like Tere Mere Honthon Pe, Lagi Aaj Saawan Ki, title track are still fresh in our hearts. While, no one could have played the characters, the way leading trios performed, it will surprise you to know the role of Rishi Kapoor was earlier offered to Anil Kapoor. In a conversation with E Times, when the Jhakaas actor was asked about it, he replied, “If I could go back, I probably would’ve loved to do it. But in all honesty, Rishi ji was the perfect choice for ‘Chandni’. I don’t think I would’ve done justice to it like he did. Besides, I don’t regret my decisions.”
When asked about doing certain films for money, Anil Kapoor replied, “I did. In fact, I can even name them. I did ‘Andaz’ and ‘Heer Ranjha’ for money. After ‘Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja’, the family was in a crisis and each one of us did what we had to do for survival, out of a sense of responsibility. I have no qualms about admitting that. My family and I are fortunate that those times are behind us and our circumstances since then have not been as tough. But if our luck takes a turn and we ever face bad times again, I will not think twice about doing whatever it takes to take care of my family.”
Calling his kids best friends, Anil Kapoor added, “My kids are my best buddies and I am rather proud of that fact. I never have to chase them because they always keep me informed. As long as they are safe, that’s all I care about.”
