Karisma 'Begged' To Be In Andaz, Anil Kapoor Is 'Desperate, Number 1 Liar': Pahlaj Nilhani
Last Updated: Pahlaj refuted Anil Kapoor's claim of objecting to the Khada Hai Khada Hai song from Andaz. Film producer and former CBFC chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani has levelled allegations against brothers Anil Kapoor and Boney Kapoor. In a recent chat with Vickey Lalwani, Pahlaj refuted Anil Kapoor's claim of objecting to the Khada Hai Khada Hai song from Andaz. He mentioned that Anil and Karisma Kapoor 'begged' to work with him, with only Juhi Chawla voicing any objection. He also accused Boney Kapoor of poaching Madhuri Dixit by telling her lies. Reacting to Anil Kapoor's claims, Pahlaj said, 'I know of this interview. I told him off also once. He called Andaz a B-grade movie. He was desperate to do it. Karisma begged me to be in it. People were desperate to work with me, and Anil Kapoor was one of them. He's done so many B-grade movies in his life, how can he say that he did Andaz for money?" Nihalani clarified that Anil Kapoor had no objections to the song and said, 'He's jhoota number one. This never happened. He must've heard the song 'Khada Hai Khada Hai' 50 times before we shot it. He'd say, 'This song will make our film a hit.'" He added that only Juhi Chawla had some issues with the song. He said, 'Unlike Anil Kapoor, who was crazy about the song, and was sure that it would be a superhit. He's spreading lies and defaming me. I've never made a B-grade movie in my life!" Pahlaj also levelled poaching allegations against Boney Kapoor. 'I signed Madhuri Dixit. I was the one who found her a secretary. She was about to do my movie, but people created problems. Boney Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Subhash Ghai, and the lot spread the rumour that Govinda wouldn't want to work with a newcomer like her. I signed her, I got her a secretary, I offered her a role, but she backed out. They trapped her with their lies. Madhuri, the poor girl, was a 'gungi'. But Boney and his gang trapped her. Then I hired Neelam," he said. First Published:

Filmmaker and former CBFC chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani, who produced the 1994 film Andaz starring Anil Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, and Juhi Chawla, has hit out at Anil for calling the film a B-grade production. In a recent interview with Vickey Lalwani, Pahlaj criticised the actor for making the comment and also accused him of lying about objecting to the controversial song Khada Hai from the film. (Also Read: Pahlaj Nihalani rubbishes Govinda's claim of being offered James Cameron's Avatar: 'Uske dimag ka disc ghum gaya') Pahlaj lashed out at Anil for calling Andaz a B-grade film and said, "I know of this interview. I told him off also once. He called Andaz a B-grade movie. Woh tarasta tha iske liye (He was desperate to do it). Karisma begged me to be in it. People were desperate to work with me at that time, and Anil Kapoor was one of them. He's done so many B-grade movies in his life, how can he say that he did Andaz for money?" When informed that Anil, in an interview, claimed he wasn't informed about the song Khada Hai and even objected to it, Pahlaj said, 'He's jhoota number one. This never happened. He must've heard the song 'Khada Hai Khada Hai' 50 times before we shot it. He'd say, 'This song will make our film a hit.' Only Juhi Chawla had some issues with the song. But Anil Kapoor was crazy about the song and was sure that it would be a superhit. He's spreading lies and defaming me. I've never made a B-grade movie in my life!" Directed by David Dhawan, Andaz was an action-comedy that also featured Kader Khan, Raj Babbar, Shakti Kapoor, Satish Kaushik, Ishrat Ali, and Mahesh Anand. Though the film was a commercial success, the song Khada Hai drew criticism for its double-meaning lyrics. Anil Kapoor is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming film Alpha, which is part of Aditya Chopra's YRF Spy Universe. The film also stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in lead roles. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha will be the seventh instalment in the spy franchise, following Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, Tiger 3, and the upcoming War 2, which is slated for release on 14 August. Alpha is scheduled to release this Christmas.

Anil Kapoor once begged to do B-grade film, producer called him a big liar after...,film became a hit, earned Rs..., movie is..
Anil Kapoor has been one of the most successful actors in the Bollywood industry. He has been in the industry for 40 years and has delivered several hits. However, did you know that there was a film which was considered a B-grade movie, and Anil Kapoor urged to have a role in it? Yes, you read that right! Made for Rs 8 crore, this film became a huge hit and earned Rs 28.8 crore. It featured some of the biggest actresses, including Juhi Chawla, Karisma Kapoor, and more. If you are wondering which film we are talking about, then it is Andaaz. Released in 1994, Andaaz is once again in the headlines for its song 'Khada Hai Khada Hai'. Amidst this, producer and former Censor Board Chairman Pahlaj Nihalani has openly called Anil Kapoor 'liar number one' in an interview. Nihalani clarified that Anil did not raise any objection during the shooting of the song. Rather, he himself used to listen to it again and again and used to say, 'This song will make our film a hit.' He even said, 'If he was uncomfortable, then why was he silent at that time?' In an interview with Vicky Lalwani, Nihalani mentioned that Juhi had some hesitations while doing certain scenes. He said, 'I explained to Juhi that the scene had meaning and was important to the story of the film.' On the other hand, Nihalani strongly objected to Anil calling Andaaz a B-grade film. He said, 'I remember that interview. I had once reprimanded him. The film which he is calling 'B grade' today, he wanted to do it at any cost.' Nihalani claimed that not only Anil, but also others were eager to be a part of the film. 'Karisma Kapoor too had requested me. At that time, everyone wanted to work in my film, and Anil Kapoor was one of them.'

A song from Anil Kapoor , Juhi Chawla and Karisma Kapoor 's 'Andaz' created a huge stir for its double meaning lyrics. This song called 'Khada Hai Khada Hai' faced immense backlash.

Nihalini said during an interview with Vickey Lalwani, "I know of this interview. I told him off also once. He called Andaz a B-grade movie. Woh tarasta tha Andaz karne ko. Karisma ne picture maang ke liye. People were desperate to work with me, and Anil Kapoor was one of them. He's done so many B-grade movies in his life, how can he say that he did Andaz for money?" When the interview told him about Kapoor's comment on the song, he said, "Jhooth hai number one. This never happened. He must've heard the song 'Khada Hai Khada Hai' 50 times before we shot it. Usne bola, ke yeh gaane se hi picture hit hogi." He said, "Sirf Juhi (Chawla) ne bola tha yeh kya movement hai? Toh maine kaha aise koi movement hi nahi hai." He added, "Anil Kapoor was mad. Usne toh kaha yeh gaana hit hai. Toh aise sab jhoothe interviews deke doosre aadmi ko neecha dikhate hai. I've never made a B-grade movie in my life!"

Anil Kapoor is ‘jhootha number one', Madhuri Dixit is ‘gungi'; Boney Kapoor and his gang poached her from me: Pahlaj Nihalani
Film producer and former CBFC chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani minced no words as he called actor Anil Kapoor a 'liar' for claiming that he raised his voice against shooting a song with suggestive lyrics and dance steps in the film Andaz. Nihalani said that Anil Kapoor actually praised the song, and said that it would be a sure-fire hit. He also accused the actor's brother, film producer Boney Kapoor, of poaching Madhuri Dixit after he, Nihalani, discovered and signed her. In an interview with journalist Vickey Lalwani, the producer said that only Juhi Chawla raised an objection about the song's moves when it was being filmed. Responding to Anil Kapoor's past comments about protesting against the song, Nihalani said, 'I know of this interview. I told him off also once. He called Andaz a B grade movie. He was desperate to do it. Karisma begged me to be in it. People were desperate to work with me, and Anil Kapoor was one of them. He's done so many B grade movies in his life, how can he say that he did Andaz for money?' Nihalani rejected any suggestion that the actor protested against the song being shot, and said, 'He's jhootha number one. This never happened. He must've heard the song 'Khada Hai Khada Hai' 50 times before we shot it. He'd say, 'This song will make our film a hit'.' Also read – Pahlaj Nihalani calls Govinda 'unpredictable', says David Dhawan 'lived on my mercy' until he tasted success He admitted that Juhi Chawla was unsure about the moves, but he talked her into it by telling her that it would make sense in context. 'Unlike Anil Kapoor, who was crazy about the song, and was sure that it would be a superhit. He's spreading lies and defaming me. I've never made a B grade movie in my life!' Nihalani had other objections against the Kapoor family. He said, 'I signed Madhuri Dixit. I was the one who found her a secretary. She was about to do my movie, but people created problems. Boney Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Subhash Ghai and the lot spread the rumour that Govinda wouldn't want to work with a newcomer like her. I signed her, I got her a secretary, I offered her a role, but she backed out. They trapped her with their lies. Madhuri the poor girl was a 'gungi'. But Boney and his gang trapped her.
