In a candid interview, actor Anil Kapoor spoke about his career spanning over four decades, from being rejected by FTII to becoming one of India’s most recognized stars. He revealed the story behind his signature stubble, saying that when he approached filmmakers for work in the early days, ‘they would say, bahut bachcha lagta hai, aankhe deri bahut choti hai, baal bahut zyada hai.’ Kapoor explained how he kept the stubble to look older in an era dominated by stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna. He also recalled being told ‘no one with a moustache can become a big star,’ to which he responded by citing Charlie Chaplin and Raj Kapoor. Kapoor discussed his approach to choosing roles, emphasizing his preference for good stories and filmmakers over specific character types. He spoke about working with director Suresh Triveni on his latest film Subedar, saying he committed to the project without even reading a script based purely on his instinct about the filmmaker.
