Yes, that’s the dedication that Anil Kapoor has towards his work! But what got our attention is his way of finding out the roles and offers that Sr. Bachchan turns down.
Wait, WHAT? Anil Kapoor Says He Wants To Pick Roles Rejected By Amitabh Bachchan & Abhishek Bachchan
It so happens that in his recent interview to Film Companion, Anil Kapoor opened up on the trend that yesteryear legends like Dev Anand and Rajesh Khanna followed. Kapoor said that these superstars often referred each other to filmmakers if they did not take up the part offered to them.
Speaking on a similar line, Anil said, “That’s why I call up Abhishek and say ‘jo jo films daddy nahi karenge mere paas bhej dena .Tu bhi nahi karega, teri bhi koi film ho toh mereko bhej dena (Send me films that your dad Amitabh Bachchan and you reject, let me know and I’ll take them up.)”
Anil Kapoor further added that it is his good looks that will help him pull off both roles in a breeze! Well, now that’s the kind of self-esteem and confidence in oneself that we all need to develop at some point in life.
