For decades, I’ve been part of the vibrant Indian film industry, and over this extended journey, I’ve had the privilege to bring life to numerous unforgettable roles. With nearly a century of films under my belt, I’ve earned the honor of being a National Award-winning actor. However, before tasting the sweet success, I honed my skills as a casting director for Shabana Azmi and Mithun Chakraborty’s groundbreaking film, Hum Paanch, in 1980. As this timeless movie celebrates its 44th anniversary, I find myself reminiscing about the good old days. Let me share some of those memories with you!
Bollywood star Anil Kapoor first entered Hindi cinema with a small part in the 1979 movie “Hamare Tumhare.” His career took off in a Telugu film released in 1980. That same year, Kapoor made appearances in “Ek Baar Kaho” and “Hum Paanch,” although he only had a brief role in the latter. Interestingly, Kapoor also served as the casting director for the production of “Hum Paanch.
On January 9, 2025, the actor from Fighter shared exclusive behind-the-scenes photos on his Instagram Stories from the set of the action film directed by Sattiraju Lakshminarayana, who is also known as Bapu. As the movie reached its 44th day, Kapoor reminisced about feeling privileged to have been the casting director for this project.
In his message, the actor conveyed, “Forty-four years ago, Hum Paanch was unveiled! This movie holds a special place in my heart because I had the privilege of serving as its casting director for this timeless piece. Directed by the iconic Bapu and produced under our production house, S.K. Films, it continues to be an important landmark in Indian cinema.
Take a look:
Hum Paanch was the first production by Boney Kapoor, Anil Kapoor’s brother, as a movie producer. This film was filled with entertainment and showcased talented actors such as Sanjeev Kumar, Shabana Azmi, Mithun Chakraborty, Nasiruddin Shah, Raj Babbar, and Amrish Puri. Additionally, it marked the debut of actor Gulshan Grover in films. On the other hand, Anil Kapoor will appear next in War 2 and Alpha in his upcoming roles.
