Taking to his Instagram story, Anil Kapoor shared a scene from the film, featuring himself with Hema Malini and spoke about his experience of dancing with the legendary actress. “41 years of Yudh and I still can’t forget this moment… Playing a double role was a breeze compared to dancing with Hema ji. That aspect of Yudh had me seriously nervous! She was already the biggest star of the country, with that larger than life presence… and there I was, a skinny young boy just spouting ‘Jhakaas’ and trying to keep up!” Kapoor wrote on Instagram.
Describing the song as one of his “life-changing” and “life-forming” moments, the actor added, “What an opportunity it was to share the frame with a legend, to dance, to learn, all while my nerves were frayed at the edges! Of the life-changing and life-forming moments that have shaped my career, this one is right up there with the best of them…”
Directed by Rajiv Rai, ‘Yudh’ came out in 1985. The film’s story follows Savitri, whose twin sons are separated after a criminal abducts them. What follows next is how the twins grow up away from their mother, only to confront their captor before reuniting.
