The story of the 1991 film revolves around Tiger (Amitabh) is enraged by his father's death at the hands of Bakhtawar (Danny Denzongpa). He vows to murder him but Inspector Giridhar (Anupam) stops him. Later, Giridhar steals from Bakhtawar and kills his family but blames Tiger for it. Reportedly, this was the most successful film for the famous superstar Bachchan in the early '90s before he announced his temporary retirement (for five years) immediately after its release. He also won the Filmfare Best Actor Award for it in 1992. The film was the second highest-grossing Indian film of 1991 at the box office and was a blockbuster.

Sometime back, reminiscing the good old days, veteran actor Anupam Kher recently shared his fan moment with MJ in his recent Instagram post. In his post, Kher revealed how he 'broke the barricade' to shake hands with the pop icon. Anupam dug up his photo gallery and shared a throwback pic with fans on social media. Earlier on Tuesday, the National Award-winning actor took to Instagram and shared pictures of him shaking hands with late Michael Jackson when he came to Mumbai in 1996 and shared the epic anecdote behind the pictures. The Saaransh actor shared his once-in-a-lifetime experience of meeting the legend at Oberoi Hotel Gardens, Mumbai, and revealed how he broke the barricade and almost hugged the Beat It singer in the long caption of the IG post.
