Reminiscing the days gone by, Anil has been quoted by Hindustan Times saying, “I do pause and look back at the early phase of my career. I don’t try to recreate those days but I do miss working with people who are no more. I miss Amrish Puri, Bapu saab (late director), Sridevi, Anand Bakshi (late lyricist) and Laxmikant (Berde; late actor). I miss the way we used to work together. There are so many directors who I never got the chance of collaborating with again. But everybody moves on and life goes on (smiles).”

The Mr. India actor also says that this is the best to experiment in the industry, with the taster os the audiences changing with every passing day. On the professional front, Anil Kapoor was last seen in Mohit Suri’s Malang alongside Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani and Kunal Kemmu.
