Farah Khan reveals what Anil Kapoor said about being on set nowadays
During the vlog, Farah spoke about David working with actors who would often arrive several hours late on set. However, David said it was still enjoyable working with them. Farah then shared what Anil had told her about the current atmosphere on film sets and said, “Anil told me, ‘Farah abhi main sets pe jaata hoon naa, voh joy is missing of being on set. Voh pura joy suck karlia hai (Anil told me, ‘Farah, these days when I go to film sets, that joy of being on a set is missing. All of that joy has been completely sucked out).”
David added, “I have worked with these people, they are great. Salman, Govinda, Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor, bhale hi late atae the, par jab voh shot dete the toh insaan khush hoke ghar jaata tha. Kahin bhi kaam karlete the inke saath. Location ka dikkat ho raha hai? Koi nahi yahan karlete hain (I have worked with these people, and they were great. Salman, Govinda, Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor—yes, they may have arrived late at times, but when they gave a shot, everyone went home happy. You could work with them anywhere. If there was a problem with the location, they would simply say, ‘No problem, let’s do it here instead).”
David Dhawan has delivered several blockbuster films with stars such as Salman Khan, Govinda, Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar and Anil Kapoor. Some of his biggest hits include Andaz, Biwi No.1, Judwaa, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Partner, Mr & Mrs Khiladi, Haseena Maan Jaayegi, Raja Babu and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
David Dhawan’s recent release
David’s latest film, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, was released in theatres on June 5. The film stars Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in lead roles, with Chunky Panday, Jimmy Shergill, Mouni Roy and Maniesh Paul among others in supporting parts. The romantic comedy opened to mixed reviews from critics.
During the film’s promotions, David hinted that he may retire after the movie. He told ANI, “I don’t think I should do more. Vo to chahta hi nahi main kaam bhi karu healthwise dekhkar (Varun doesn’t want me to work, considering my health). This might be my last film… after this, I’ll just be Varun’s father. I will look after you… look after your family. Main ghusunga nahi Varun ki picture main (I won’t be involved in his picture), but I’ll be there with him all the time.”
Meanwhile, Anil Kapoor is awaiting the release of his upcoming film, Alpha. Helmed by Shiv Rawail, the film also stars Sharvari, Alia Bhatt and Bobby Deol in lead roles. The YRF Spy Universe film is scheduled to release in theatres on July 3.
