Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s best yet to come back – Anil Kapoor

anil kapoor2 200x257 Vidhu Vinod Chopra has given Bollywood several iconic films like “Parinda”, “Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.” and “3 Idiots”, however the audiences haven't seen his best yet, says his friend and actor Anil Kapoor.

“I think his (Chopra’s) best is yet to come back. I still feel that as per his dedication, sincerity and the type of vision he has, he has not yet not made his best film till now,” Anil told reporters here.

Chopra has completed three decades within the Hindi film industry and has organised a six-day retrospective of his films in association with a cinema chain.

The first film, showcased Thursday, was the 1989 release “Parinda”.

Anil says he has strong memories connected to the film, about Mumbai’s underworld gangsters.

“I remember when Vinod had made the poster, it read ‘The strongest film ever made.’ I told him that folks will laugh, but it surely was (really) essentially the most powerful film at that time.

“I remember when he came to me to relate the film, he told me that he had only Rs.17 and he had no money to make the film, but he desired to make ‘Parinda’. So, that’s the way in which the adventure started,” said Anil.

Chopra was connected to several iconic films as director, writer or producer. A few of his films include “Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.”, “Parineeta”, “Lage Raho Munna Bhai”, “Mission Kashmir” and “Eklavya: The Royal Guard”.

Chopra could also be gearing up for the discharge of his next production, “Ferrari Ki Sawari”, starring Sharman Joshi and Boman Irani. – IANS
