of ‘Lamhe’ on his official Instagram handle and captioned the post, “Celebrating 30 years of Yash Chopra’s best
Lamhe…
So glad I took the leap of faith and decided to be
a part of this iconic film. #30yearsofLamhe

Anil Kapoor told Hindustan Times, “Sometimes,
when your intent is honest towards a film, it always pays off. This happened to
me in all the films I have done. I sacrificed a lot to fulfil my commitments
towards the filmmaker and the script,”

Talking about his co-star Sridevi he said, “Sri’s
father had passed away when we were shooting for it. Yash ji (Chopra, late
director) requested me to stay back. I had shooting of two films lined up in
Mumbai, especially my personal production Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja. I had to
postpone that film’s shooting, and cancelled all the dates. We lost a lot of
money, and somewhere I feel I sacrificed that film to fulfill this commitment
of mine.”

Lamhe is not the only film that the duo has done
together, they are seen together on screen in Mr India and Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka
Raja.
