Movie World

Will work in Subhash Ghai’s film
By Dinesh Kamath

The 62 year old star, Anil Kapoor defies age with his suave style. The actor who was last seen in the film 'Total Dhamal', is known not just for his remarkable acting but his stylish appearances and dashing looks during events and films promotions. Talking about his love for shoes, Anil's son Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor recently shared a hilarious video of his father raiding on his shoe closet.
Are Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff to reunite for Subhash Ghai's next film? Bollywood's famous Ram Lakhan jodi - Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff - are said to be reuniting for Subhash Ghai's next film. The film, which has been titled Ramchand Kishanchand, will hit the floors by the end of the year. It's a crime-comedy that tells the story of two 50-year-old cops. This won't be first time Anil and Jackie would be working with Subhash Ghai, the two have starred together in Ghai's 1991 hit film Ram Lakhan. Jackie and Anil played brothers in the film. In fact, Subhash Ghai had been working on various scripts for Anil and Jackie and he liked one.
Anil and Jackie last shared the big screen in 2013 film Shootout at Wadala, Jackie had a guest appearance in the film. They were also seen in Lajja in 2001. Earlier this year, Anil Kapoor reunited with her Beta co-star Madhuri Dixit in Total Dhamaal. The film featured an array of stars including Ajay Devgn, Boman Irani, Javed Jaffrey, Riteish Deshmukh and more, and was successful at the box office. He will also be seen in films like Pagalpanti, Malang and Takht.
Jackie Shroff, on the other hand, is seen in Salman Khan's latest release Bharat. He played the role of Salman's father in the film. The film is smashing box office records every day. It minted Rs 100 crore in just four days of its release.
The 10th edition of the Jagran Film Festival (JFF) will include a showcase of actor and producer Anil Kapoor in the Retrospective of Indian Cinema section by screening his films. The film gala begins in Delhi on July 18 and will travel through Kanpur, Lucknow, Prayagraj, Varanasi, Agra, Meerut, Dehradun, Hisar, Ludhiana, Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Gorakhpur, Raipur, Indore and Bhopal. The festival will culminate on September 29 in Mumbai.
Kapoor was noticed in the 1983 film ‘Woh Saat Din’, and went on to do films such as ‘Mashaal’, ‘Beta’, ‘Lamhe’, ‘Mr India’ and ‘Total Dhamaal’. He forayed into international cinema with Danny Boyle’s Academy Award-winning film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.
Superstar Anil Kapoor’s journey in the Indian film industry has been nothing short of inspiring. His illustrious career spanning 35 years has been lined up with several iconic characters and films, as the star constantly improves his game and reinvents himself with every passing year.
It comes as no surprise that Spotify India, a leading audio platform, has reportedly roped in the superstar to be the face of the brand. Spotify was launched in India earlier this year and became a huge hit amongst the youngsters since it allows them to create a playlist of their own. The Indian branch of the Swedish company approached the superstar to endorse the app, considering his youth connect. Anil Kapoor has always endorsed the brands he has believed in. The actor's ability to connect with the youngsters is the main reason why the brand wanted him to endorse it. The versatile actor, like his daughter Sonam K Ahuja, is endorsing multiple brands and that has worked well with the marketing of the respective companies.
Anil Kapoor will soon be seen in Mohit Suri’s directorial, Malang, co-starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani and Kunal Kemmu. Anil Kapoor is getting fitter for 'Malang' by following a new diet and fitness regime. He plays the grey role in Malang.
The first thing that comes to mind when you think about Anil Kapoor is the fact that his looks belie his age. Moreover, the 62-year-old doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon either when it comes to fitness, especially with the new challenge he has taken up for his next film, Malang. Interestingly, he essays an intense character with grey shades in it. The two-time National Award winner made everyone sit up and take notice of him when the Mohit Suri directorial was announced with a picture of the cast, in which the Total Dhamaal star looked younger and fitter than his colleagues. We hear the secret behind the superstar’s youthful look and energy is his new fitness regime and diet to look leaner for his part in the movie, which also stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Disha Patani.
The prolific actor, who has always been determined with gusto throughout his 40-year-long innings, continues to persevere and use his strengths to his benefit this time around too. Anil has always been a sport when it comes to taking up challenges for his roles. So, when he was asked to look leaner, he took it upon himself and has started going for brisk walks and jogging in the morning.  He has even started following an intermittent fasting diet in order to lose weight in a shorter time frame.
The actor has not shied away from taking risks in the past either. Usually known for his trademark macho look, Anil surprised the audiences and critics alike when he opted for a salt-and-pepper look in movies like Dil Dhadakne Do (2015), Fanney Khan (2018) and Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019).
