Some of the biggest names in the Indian film industry come from influential film families. Naturally, they would often get to work with each other at some point or another. Keeping that in mind, did you know a leading Bollywood beauty worked with her brother-in-law in several superhits? Do you know who she is?
That actress is none other than the late Sridevi, one of the most impactful and successful heroines in Bollywood. Sridevi was married to producer Boney Kapoor, who is also the elder brother of Anil Kapoor, which makes the actor a brother-in-law to Sridevi. The two actors starred in various blockbuster hits together, becoming a popular on-screen pairing. Even before Sridevi got married to Boney Kapoor, she had given several hits with Anil Kapoor.
Anil Kapoor and Sridevi starred in Mr India, Judaai, Laadla, Lamhe and several others. The pair’s biggest film to date is arguably Mr India, a Shekhar Kapoor directorial released in 1987. It starred Anil Kapoor in the titular role, sharing the screen space with Sridevi. The cast also included names like Amrish Puri, Annu Kapoor, Satish Kaushik and Gurbachan Singh among many others. The film was produced by Boney Kapoor and Surinder Kapoor under the banner of Narsimha Enterprises. The music in the film is given by the duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal. It was released on May 25, 1987.
In the following year, they appeared in many projects together. Anil and Sridevi’s second big hit together was the film Lamhe, a 1991 release. It was made under the direction of Yash Chopra and was led by Anil Kapoor and Sridevi. The actress was seen in a dual role in the release. The cast also included Waheeda Rehman, Anupam Kher, Deepak Malhotra and Dippy Sagoo. Yash Chopra and T Subbarami Reddy produced the film under the Yash Raj Films banner. The music was done by Shiv-Hari and the cinematographer is Manmohan Singh. The film had its theatrical release on November 22, 1991.
