Upala KBR (DNA; September 30, 2016)

Around four decades after Thikana (1987) where they played lovers, Anil Kapoor and Amrita Singh will be paired in Mubarakan, directed by Anees Bazmee. This time, around, however, they are playing siblings.

Anil confirms the development. He is excited at the prospect of working with her again and chuckles, “If you truly ask me, I am scared of working with Amrita. She knows many secrets of mine and is extremely honest and moohfat (forthright). I am petrified of her because I feel that once we start shooting, she will come and expose all my secrets! Mere bhanje Arjun (Kapoor) ke saamne meri puri pol khol degi Amrita.”

He admits that they are like chalk and cheese. She is straightforward and brutally honest, while he is measured and politically correct. Anil reflects, “I guess that’s the reason we got along so well. Don’t they say opposites become friends? Each and every day, working with her was entertaining and lots of fun. She is great fun to be on the sets. I remember that her mother Rukhsana Sultana (a political activist and a renowned socialite) was very fond of me. She is no more, may her soul rest in peace.”
