Anil Kapoor almost didn't do 1942: A Love Story

One of the most renowned actors in Bollywood, Anil Kapoor has appeared in more than a hundred films. He made his debut in the Telugu film Vamsa Vruksham as a lead actor in the year 1980. He has also won many awards in his career for his performance in the movies. One of his movies which he reportedly refused to do was 1942: A Love Story. 

Why did he refuse to do the movie?

It is said that Anil refused to do 1942: A Love Story because he thought that he would not be able to do such a role in the movie. Furthermore, he said that he was quite uncomfortable too and that was his only love story movie he did. The movie 1942: A Love Story was no doubt one of the finest films which the actor ever did in his career. The movie was directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The songs of the movie are evergreen and are still remembered for their romantic compositions by veteran RD Burman.
