Anil Kapoor reflects on 42 years of Shakti
As Ramesh Sippy’s Shakti completes 42 years, Anil Kapoor took a moment to remember the film that played a significant role in his career early on. Kapoor shared heartfelt memories, expressing his gratitude to Javed Akhtar for recommending him and recalling how nervous he felt at the time. He thanked the late Smita Patil for her warmth and kindness, as she offered him her room and made him feel like family during the shoot.
Kapoor reflected on how Shakti, which featured cinema icons like Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan, gave him “unforgettable memories” and helped shape his journey as an actor. He described his time on set as a learning experience that continues to inspire him to this day, with memories “etched in his heart forever.”
On the career front, 2024 has been monumental for Kapoor. He delivered a box-office hit with Fighter, earned an Emmy nomination for The Night Manager, and impressed several people with his performance in Animal. Fans are now eagerly awaiting his upcoming film Subedaar, which marks his first collaboration with director Suresh Triveni.
