ANIL: What do you think of Rediff on the Net and of the internet in general? How much of an affect does it have in Bollywood? Are you people familiar with it or is it a new type of a thing there?

BobbyV (Mon Feb 3 20:53:45 1997 IST):

Narendra Agrawal (Mon Feb 3 20:54:49 1997 IST):

Anilji, Do you watch your own movies?

JayeshGodambe (Mon Feb 3 20:55:08 1997 IST):

Anil, have u thought about doing an overseas project/ movie with Ismial Merchant etc To be able to reach a wider audience?

ANIL KAPOOR (Mon Feb 3 20:55:19 1997 IST):

Arunesh Banerjee: Yeah I'll be doing a film for Mr Mehul Kumar from October '97 onwards. And with Mr Subhash Ghai talks are on, and with Sekhar for the time being there is no project being planned.

Sridevi: I think the role that I did in Saheb and Ram Lakhan these were the two roles were close to my real self.

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 20:55:26 1997 IST):

hi Anil, Hello from every one in NOIDA film City!

Arunesh Banerjee (Mon Feb 3 20:55:38 1997 IST):

Anilji when are you coming to America for the next set of shows.

Dev1 (Mon Feb 3 20:55:42 1997 IST):

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)

Narendra Agrawal (Mon Feb 3 20:56:16 1997 IST):

Anilji, Do you watch your own movies?

aby (Mon Feb 3 20:57:16 1997 IST):

ANIL KAPOOR, U HERE OR WHAT?

Dhoorundher (Mon Feb 3 20:57:16 1997 IST):

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

BobbyV (Mon Feb 3 20:57:17 1997 IST):

Mr.Kapoor..I think after looking at ur line-up for releases in 1997..the TOP SPOT will be all urs....

Dev1 (Mon Feb 3 20:57:32 1997 IST):

Anilji you like this chat?

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 20:57:35 1997 IST):

AKP (Mon Feb 3 20:57:53 1997 IST):

ANIL: How is Bhabhi-Ji doing?

Makhan Seru (Mon Feb 3 20:58:34 1997 IST):

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?

karthick (Mon Feb 3 20:58:44 1997 IST):

Hi Anil, Nice to chat with you. I think you are one who stand apart from the rest of the 'Hero's of Hindi film industry. Do you have any plans of acting in a 'Tamil film' if a good project comes out ?

Hotu (Mon Feb 3 20:59:03 1997 IST):

Your home production 'Prem' restricted the development of a good singer, Nalin *aati nahin* Dave courtesy the long contract. Cruel don't you think that he had nothing to do with the delay and release of the film?

moron (Mon Feb 3 20:59:10 1997 IST):

Hi Anil ,how do you like being on the chat?is this your first time?

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 20:59:29 1997 IST):

PaarthDesai (Mon Feb 3 20:59:49 1997 IST):

ANIL: CAN WE CONTACT U ON E-MAIL????? IF YES WHAT WOULD THE ADDRESS BE.......IT LOOKS LIKE U R OVERWHELM HERE .........

AKP (Mon Feb 3 21:00:27 1997 IST):

ANIL: I think we would all seriously appreciate it very much if you would spend a minute to talk about Sridevi and your brother. Though we have read about their marriage in the papers and magazines, it would be more satisifying to hear it directly from you. Please do not feel intimidated but please do speak on this topic. Thank you.

BobbyV (Mon Feb 3 21:00:29 1997 IST):

ANILJI..whats Judaai release date?

Kamran (Mon Feb 3 21:00:38 1997 IST):

Hi Anil, hope you are having fun answering all the questions.

Narendra Agrawal (Mon Feb 3 21:01:12 1997 IST):

Hi Anil, What should be done in your opinion to imrove quality of Hindi cinema and may be restore it's old glory.

Dev1 (Mon Feb 3 21:01:26 1997 IST):

Well, it seems you are bombarded with questions, I must go, wish you all the best. You are a very hardworking chap.

Arunesh Banerjee (Mon Feb 3 21:01:35 1997 IST):

I am a big fan of yours can I have an autograped poster of yours?

ANIL KAPOOR (Mon Feb 3 21:01:35 1997 IST):

The Great Kapoor: Fortunately when I started my career when I was just newcomer I always did characters which were much elder to what my real age is for example , Woh Saat Din, Meri Jung, Eshwar where I played Forest Gump eight years before it was made much later I did Lamhe and in 1996 I did Trimurti. So if you see my career graph I've never ever done silly teenager roles. My future films like Judaii , Virasat , Deewana Mastana , Bulundi , Khabhi Na Kabhi and Pukar all these films have got great characters and all are different from each other.

Dhoorundher (Mon Feb 3 21:02:03 1997 IST):

ANILJI :PLEASE TELL US MORE ABOUT 'J U D A A I' with Sridevi and Urmila ?

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 21:02:07 1997 IST):

AKP (Mon Feb 3 21:02:17 1997 IST):

Narendra Agrawal (Mon Feb 3 21:02:27 1997 IST):

Anilji, Are yo still on?

JayeshGodambe (Mon Feb 3 21:02:27 1997 IST):

Anil, do u have any forth coming movie with Mx.Dixit?

Kamran (Mon Feb 3 21:03:41 1997 IST):

Mr. Anil Kapoor to tell you the truth, I am not a fan of yours, but I like talking to people and making friends. How would you like to be my friend?

Hotu (Mon Feb 3 21:03:49 1997 IST):

Looks like Anil has actually donned the role of Mr. India and has temporarily disappeared. Too many questions guys. Go easy on him. He is doing this interview from one machine, not ten. Maybe Rediff should use ten the next time around.

Alok (Mon Feb 3 21:04:54 1997 IST):

Hi Anil This is Alok from Caen in France Hoz r u doin man ? Is sridevi is also with you ?? Never got chance to talk to you when I was there in New Delhi.. just imagine from France.. greate .it a small changing world isnùt it ??

Hotu (Mon Feb 3 21:05:21 1997 IST):

Lois *LOL*

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 21:05:26 1997 IST):

Narendra Agrawal (Mon Feb 3 21:06:00 1997 IST):

Anilji, What should be done in your opinion to imrove quality of Hindi cinema and may be restore it's old glory.

Kamran (Mon Feb 3 21:06:33 1997 IST):

After watching many movies, I believe Ram Lakhan was the best. Any comments on that?

ANIL KAPOOR (Mon Feb 3 21:07:19 1997 IST):

BobbyV: Yeah I'm coming to America very soon . Wait for the announcemnet.

Narendra Agarwal: The only way to improve quality in Hindi cinema is to improve the content that is to take inspiration not only from real life stories or real life situations and from books and works done by great writers .

BobbyV: 28 Feb1997.

Hotu: No ones career depends on one film or on any contract if you have the drive the talent the dedication and the blessings of God no one can stop you. I think that answers your question.

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 21:07:20 1997 IST):

AKP (Mon Feb 3 21:07:25 1997 IST):

Alok (Mon Feb 3 21:07:58 1997 IST):

moron (Mon Feb 3 21:08:10 1997 IST):

Anil Eshwar was a remake of a Kamal Hassan movie 'Swati Muthyam' why do u claim it to be original?

Kamran (Mon Feb 3 21:08:32 1997 IST):

So, any topic would you like to discuss, instead of me asking all the questions?

JayeshGodambe (Mon Feb 3 21:08:39 1997 IST):

What are your forthcoming releases ? and who are the heroines? besides Judaai

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 21:09:08 1997 IST):

PaarthDesai (Mon Feb 3 21:09:19 1997 IST):

HEY! U HAVE NOT ANSWERED A SINGLE Q FOR ME......thats not fair >(:-()

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 21:10:02 1997 IST):

Kamran (Mon Feb 3 21:10:19 1997 IST):

Take your time, answer whenever you please.

karthick (Mon Feb 3 21:10:22 1997 IST):

Anilji, Having worked with mani ratnam, do you still keep in touch with him ? Have you discussed any film subjects with him ? Do you have any plans of acting in his fim ? Ho ! I would love to see you in his film. He is one director who could bring out the best in you, and I am sure, the world has not seen the best of 'Anil Kapoor'.

Alok (Mon Feb 3 21:10:22 1997 IST):

This is not fair yaarr.. haaad hi ho gayii

Narendra Agrawal (Mon Feb 3 21:10:23 1997 IST):

Anilji, Who or what in your opinion is responsible for decay of quality in Hindi cinema?

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 21:10:41 1997 IST):

Dhoorundher (Mon Feb 3 21:11:09 1997 IST):

ANILJI :

Hotu (Mon Feb 3 21:11:24 1997 IST):

How long do you think you will continue to act, Anil. Do you see yourself doing character roles a la Dilip Kumar as you get on in years?

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 21:11:37 1997 IST):

ANIL KAPOOR (Mon Feb 3 21:11:47 1997 IST):

Dhoorunder: Judaai is a human drama of relationships , it is different bold but still evry entertaining . Its ghot outstanding performances from Sridevi, Urmila , Parsh Rawal and Johnny Lever . And with great music.

Alok (Mon Feb 3 21:11:49 1997 IST):

ANIL WHY DON'T YOU ASK SOMEONE ELSE TO TYPE ON THE KEYBOARD,, I AM SURE IT WILL BE FASTER TO RESPOND.. :)

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 21:12:24 1997 IST):

Dhoorundher (Mon Feb 3 21:12:46 1997 IST):

ANILJI : WHO else is starring in Bulundi ?

Sandeep Marwah (Mon Feb 3 21:15:33 1997 IST):

Marshal (Mon Feb 3 21:16:10 1997 IST):

What the hell is happening here?

Hotu (Mon Feb 3 21:17:02 1997 IST):

Dhoorunder, why don't you grow up and look up any film magazines for the silly questions you are putting up. Leave the man to answer the all important ones.

Alok (Mon Feb 3 21:17:28 1997 IST):

Kamran (Mon Feb 3 21:17:44 1997 IST):
