Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit starrer, Tezaab, was a cult classic that set many records in the film industry. From the songs, storyline, and climax to the lead pair’s chemistry, everything was perfect. But did you know, Aditya Pancholi was the first choice for the film? Yes, the actor was replaced, and in his later X post, Pancholi reveals the same.
Aditya Pancholi takes a jibe at Anil Kapoor
Aditya Pancholi recently set the internet abuzz with his claims. The actor revealed that he was the original choice for the role of ‘Munna’ in N. Chandra’s film, Tezaab. Sharing a throwback picture of himself, Aditya penned his emotions while taking an indirect jibe at Anil Kapoor. His note can be read as:
“I was the original choice for Tezaab (1988), opposite @MadhuriDixit. Director N. Chandra, still very much around, can confirm this. Unfortunately, an actor, through his elder brother (who remains active in the industry), influenced the director to replace me. The rest, as they say, is history.”
