Actor-producer Anil Kapoor says he was awestruck by Rajesh Khanna's performance in Anand (1971), and that the late veteran actor will always remain an icon.
On Sunday, 7 January, Kapoor tweeted a short video from the film.
"Remember watching Anand for the first time in a preview theatre and I was absolutely awestruck by Rajesh Khanna's performance and the film. This has always been one of my favourite films. He will always remain an icon," Kapoor wrote.
Directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Anand is about a cancer patient who lives his life to the fullest. He fills everyone's life with happiness, which inspires his doctor, Bhaskar, to write a book on his life.
The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Sumita Sanyal.
On the work front, Kapoor is currently busy with Fanne Khan, that has Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao in lead roles.
