Anil Kapoor stands by his choice of films and believes that many of them have worked out well for him. Anil Kapoor said that over the years several people have advised him ‘what kinds of films to feature in’ but he believes in listening to his instinct. He further added, "The films which have become most relevant, I had been advised not to do them. Ishwar, Lamhe, even Race. The entire world told me not to do Race but I benefited so much from all the three parts. I benefited from first, got money from the second and in third my role was appreciated and I got nominated."
