He initially felt awkward and told the makers that would not be able to do a role like this and asked them for a substitute. However, the filmmakers remained adamant to their choice and that made him do the film. 

The film 1942: A Love Story is popular for the songs Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, Kuch Na Kaho and Rim Jhim. Anil Kapoor is currently prepping up for his upcoming movie which is a crime action film.
