NEW DELHI: Though veteran actor Anil Kapoor, who was born and brought up in Mumbai, has said that whenever he visits the national capital, Delhi, he feels like he is visiting his own city.
Speaking to the media at the opening of a jewellery store in Delhi, the actor-producer said “I have always wanted to bring a smile on people’s faces, tried to entertain them the best way I can. I do such movies… sometimes I dance, sing, do comedy films. My motive is to entertain people. I wish I keep getting the love people give me.”
“Be positive in life. This dialogue was filmed on me as I always adhere to this attitude in life,” he added referring to the dialogue picturised on Anil in the Salman Khan comedy, No Entry.
Clad in a mahogany brown Nehru jacket and crisp charcoal black trousers and white shirt, Anil also danced to a few of his cult numbers like My name is Lakkhan, Rumta Jogi and No Entry soundtrack with high octane energy for the fans, some of whom even clambered onto tree branches for a clearer view of the energetic actor.
On the work front, Kapoor is all set to appear opposite his daughter Sonam Kapoor, for the first time, in the upcoming film titled, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. The title of the film is based on the hit song of the 90s film 1942: A Love Story, featuring Anil Kapoor and Manisha Koirala.
The father-daughter duo is extremely excited about this upcoming project, with Sonam commenting that working with her father “feels like home.”
The film also stars Rajkummar Rao and Juhi Chawla, with the film being the latter’s ninth with Anil. They were last paired in 2007’s Salaam-E-Ishq.
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is slated to release on October 12, 2018.
