Mumbai, June 27 (AHN) Choreographer and director Farah Khan recalled what it was like working with Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and Pooja Bhatt in the 1998 action entertainer 'Kabhi Na Kabhi'.
Farah recently visited Ahmed Khan's house, who is also a choreographer turned director for her popular YouTube vlogs.
In the middle of a wholesome conversation, Farah shared a fun incident where she had to make Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and Pooja Bhatt dance for one of the songs in the movie 'Kabhi Na Kabhi'.
The 'Om Shanti Om' maker revealed that during the shoot, one of the actors said that they could not dance while lip-syncing, while the other one declared that they were too tired to dance.
Farah added that while Anil Kapoor said that he could both lip-sync and dance, he eventually ended up doing neither of the two.
She was heard telling Ahmed and his better half, Shaira, in the vlog, "But there was a movie, 'Kabhi Na Kabhi', in which dancers were Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and Pooja Bhatt. They were all together in the song. One said, "if I lip-sync, I can't dance". The other said, "I can't. I'm tired too". Anil Kapoor said, "I can do both" and he didn't do both."
Talking about 'Kabhi Na Kabhi', the project has been written and directed by Priyadarshan. With Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and Pooja Bhatt as the lead, the film also saw Paresh Rawal, Tinu Anand, Aloknath, Rohini Hattangadi, Sukumari, and Mac Mohan as the ancillary cast.
Backed by R. Mohan under the banner of a Malayalam film production company, Shogun Films, 'Kabhi Na Kabhi' finally reached the audience on 17 April 1998.
The melodious tracks for the drama have been scored by Oscar-winning composer A. R. Rahman
The technical team further included Ravi K. Chandran as the cinematographer and N. Gopalakrishnan as the editor.
