Actor Sanjay Kapoor reflected on the time he tried his hand at a negative role for the first time in the 2002 release “Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe”.
He shared that although the Vinay Shukla directorial did not perform well at the box office, it inspired him to expand his horizons as an actor and take on character-driven films.
Treating his fans on Instagram to throwback glimpses from the movie, Sanjay wrote, “25 years ago I did my first Negative role in Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe. Even though the film didn’t do well, it gave me a lot of confidence to do Character driven films!”
A remake of the 1997 Telugu film “Pelli”, the romance thriller stars Aftab Shivdasani, Esha Deol, Sanjay Kapoor, and Jaya Bachchan in key roles, along with Anupam Kher, Juliet Albuquerque, Jaspal Bhatti, and Rajpal Yadav in supporting roles.
The movie follows Aman (played by Aftab Shivdasani), a dress designer, who falls in love with Esha (played by Esha Deol), only to uncover dark secrets from her past that threaten their future.
Backed by his producer brother, Boney Kapoor, the technical crew includes Rajan Kothari as cinematographer, Shirish Kunder as editor, and Rajesh Roshan as music composer.
Sanjay Kapoor also uses social media to share personal messages and love for his family. In December, he wished his elder brother Anil Kapoor on his birthday, posting an old still of the Kapoor brothers with a note: “Happy birthday big brother, lots of love. You’ve been an inspiration for the whole family and me, so keep inspiring and showing us the path!”
