Anil Kapoor also added that Rhea Kapoor is handling their production company and is doing a good job in making films around women.

Anil Kapoor recalled that during his initial days in the industry, the actor would be advised not to take up movies in which the heroine had a better or equal role. The Judaai actor would wonder and get shocked when people would come up to him and ask him why is he doing films in which the heroine is better. The actor said that this used to be the mindset of people back then, but he picked up films that offered a good role and had a nice story.

On the work front, Anil Kapoor was seen in the movie Malang, along with actors Disha Patani, Aditya Roy Kapur and Kunal Khemu. The actor is now prepping up for his upcoming movie Takht along with actors Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar and Vicky Kaushal.
