Anil mentioned that it was his performance in ‘Taal’ that the makers of the Oscar-winning film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ watched and offered him to play the part in the film. He wrote, “23 years of Taal! I will forever be grateful to have been part of this iconic movie. In many ways, I was destined to do it, as my role was first offered to Govinda but ultimately came to me.”
“It was Taal that Danny Boyle saw and my performance in it that made him offer me Slumdog Millionaire. I thank my lucky stars for the love and support of the phenomenally talented showman @subhashghai1 Saab and for 4 hugely successful milestone films with him!” he added.
Speaking about the film ‘Taal’, the film was a musical drama and was released in 1999. Co-written, edited, produced, and directed by Subhash Ghai. ‘Taal’ premiered at the Chicago International Film Festival the same year.
