The Anil Kapoor Chat

Though he smiled just once during the Chat -- so correspondent Suparn Verma and Systems Administrator Shailesh Soni, who were present at the event tell us -- the star was expansive and vocal, only refusing to take the Sridevi question.

Denny (Mon Feb 3 20:33:12 1997 IST):

Hi Anil, Which one of your film do you rate as the best? I think 1942. Your comments. How does it feel being at the top and then seeing many newcomers passing you by?

I find you a really hard working fellow who gives 110% in his films, I could see that from that show with Madhuri in Chicago. When are you coming here next?

I think Lamhe was best

Anilji when are you coming to America!

Anil, why does a great actor like you work in such crap like Loafer?

Would u say 'Mr. Bechara' was a flop and Loafer a success, which heroines you like to work with the most?

ANIL:: 1942 was a great movie..excelllent!!!so what else do u have onyur plate besides JUDAAI?? what can we expect from u in the future???

You seem to be reduced to playing parts in your brother's films. Doesn't anybody else offer you roles?

I heard the songs from your new movie "Judaai" They are great! The trailer was good Looking forward to seeing it

Hi everyone and I'm ready for all your questions.

Anilji do you have a show scheduled in Washington DC this year

You always planned your career like Kasaparov played his games of chess. So what went wrong?

MNIL, Obviously for money.

My favorite of you is 'Woh Saat Din" with Padmini, u acted superbly

Is it true....you will be touring the US with Amitabh and Sridevi......again...this time with the Moorani Brothers. !!

We have recently heard that your brother Boney and Sridevi has finally held a press conference in which they've admitted to their marriage. Since you are insider on this issue, what is your view in the situation? Don't you think it was crude of Sridevi to lie to the same public that made her the queen of Indian cinema? Don't you think it was crude of her to blatantly state in all interviews that she was not married and that when she would be it would be an occassion which she would really want to share with the whole country? She used to say that she would be happy and proud to be married and that it would never be a secret, but everything now seems like a big lie in perspective. What do you say on this topic?

I take it that ANIL KAPOOR is the real thing and Anil Kapoor is someone nakli, like Sridevi.

Mr Kapoor, why do you accept such crappy films like Loafer, Mr Bechara etc. Why can't you be judicious while selecting films. Sure we can atleast accept this out of you after all the experience you've accumulated?

Anil urf Mr.India ! How can i ever forget U!

Anil, why does a great actor like you work in such crap like Loafer?

Anilsaahab......is the industry experiencing a lesser need for older heroes ? Why is that we only see very young and new faces on the screen ?

MR.KAPOOR U R DEFINATELY ONE OF INDIA'S MOST TALENTED, DEDICATED AND VERSATILE PERFORMERS..IF NOT THE MOST..YOUR PERFORMANCES HAVE BEEN SIMPLY OUT OF THIS WORLDBE IT IN LAMHE..EASHWER..SAHEB..1942..I THINK AFTER AMITABH..U R THE ONLY ACTOR THAT APPEALS TO BITH THE MASSES AAND CLASSES (SOMTHING THAT EVEN GOVINDA AND SRK DONT HAVE)..:))

anilji when will you act in a tamil movie? you could become the next MGR

You seem to be reduced to playing parts in your brother's films. Doesn't anybody else offer you roles?

Hi Anilji, Can I know who is your favourite heroine

Anilsaahab......is the industry experiencing a lesser need for older heroes ? Why is that we only see very young and new faces on the screen ?

How do you rate yourself in the number game? How do the film goers rate you as opposed to the younger lot? Shahrukh, Akshay, Sunil Shetty, Saif Ali and the new sensation Arshad Warsi. Heard of him? *laughing*

Himanshu: No its not true. But definitely I'll be touring America sometime in May-June.

Munna bhai: Nothing has gone wrong, where my work is concerned I'm doing better and better work and enjoying my work the only thing which is not in my control is the box-office so sometimes click at box-office and sometimes they don't . But tell me one film where you feel I have not done my best?

Could you pinpoint when things started going wrong in your career?

Well ! Wa have to settle this Asli~ Naqli dispute! I still carry a for Anil!

Where did u shoot some of the shots/songs for Judaai? It was beautiful!

Anil, You never give less than 100% in your films. But where you have gone wrong is your choice of films. You seem an intelligent sort of chap (anyone who went to OLPS has to be!) so why goof up?

Hey guys, the ANIL KAPOOR in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS is the real chap. The one who goes by 'Anil Kapoor' is a lucky namesake or an imposter. Have fun.

My name is Dev Raj, anyhow who is your favorite heroine. Nikki, my little girl liked u very much in Ram-Lakhan

Anilji do you have movies with Subash Ghai,Mehul Kumar and Shekhar Kapoor in the future?

Sir, What projects r u working on right now?

Mr Kapoor, what are your new films to be released?

Hotu: See ultimately its you make a niche for yourself and you are out of the rat race so my competetion has always been with myself .I've always tried and I always will try to better myself.

You turned 40 on December 24. So where do you go from here? What kind of roles will you plasy from now on? More mature roles? Or will you still play silly teenagers?

IS THIS TRUE.....Sridevi just made a statement that she has seceretly married Boney last July...at one of her friends' house in Mysore !!

Mr. India, Do you agree that Indian cinema is lacking a variety in movie making. Most of the movies that are made are based on a popular masala recipe of that time.

In May I am going to india ..after 2 years...:))

Anil which role of yours is real you! Or close to your real life personality?

Well said, Mr. Kapoor. Very intelligent answer. Hum aapke pankhe to pehele se hi the, chalo aaj ye rishta aur mazboot ho gaya.

My name is Dev Raj, anyhow who is your favorite heroine. Nikki, my little girl liked u very much in Ram-Lakhan

IS THIS TRUE.....Sridevi just made a statement that she has seceretly married Boney last July...at one of her friends' house in Mysore !!

I wish you had the courage to work in a project where you did different things. I think you could give your angry man avatar a different spin?

Anilji I am originally from New Delhi,I have been in America for the past 2 years.I am a big fan of yours,do you have projects lined up with Subash Ghai,Mehul Kumar and Shekhar Kapoor

JayeshGodambe: They were shot in Switzerland , Los Angeles , Las Vegas and Arizona.

Why do Indian movies not have the variety and innovative spirit of Hollywood.....why do we always ape the west????????????

Hi Anil I am your fan from California. I saw your last show here in Oakland . Why is that your efforts are not bearing success at the box office lately. What are you doing about it?

ANIL : 1942 was an excellent movie..great power struggle movie and something that we could relate to her in South Africa...so besides JUDAAI wahts next from u ??? WHere to from there???

ANIL: Sometime back I was at Indira Gandhi airport where I and several other people spotted you and Mr. Anupam Kher walkiing along together. We came by to have a glimpse or even get a word but you were extremely rude to us. How do you think the public will like you as a person if you don't build good public relations? Don't you think it is necessary to treat people with a common sense of respect or do you feel that you are superior to someone merely because you are in the acting profession?

???????

Some people feel that what is happening to you is karma. For the way Boney and you played dirty with the industry. Remember the fight with Bachchan?

EK DO TEEN CHAR>>Question for the Superstar? have u recently signed Subhash Ghai's next production and will it be directd by Ghai himself

What is wrong with Hindi films? Why are Hindi films so shitty?

Anil Ji it is so nice of you to come on the live chat, you can see how many of us are fond of Indian Cinema, who is your favorite actor, actress (not counting u)

Hi Sri Devi or whosoever you are. Don't put your graphics crap here.

Hi Louise Lane! Anil Kapoor when are we going to see a movie with u and the BIG B?

ANIL KAPOOR: Matlab nikal gayaa , to pehchante nahin?

Anilsaahab....you were EXCELLENT in 'Saaheb' 'Eeshwar' and "Meri Jung'.....where is that Anil Kapoor ? Why are all your high-budget films flopping ?

Anil, are you doing any films with Mani Ratnam, or are you restricted to working on the home front alone? What are your forthcoming releases, which in your reckoning are worth looking forward to?
