On Tuesday, Madhuri Dixit-Nene relived memories from Prem Granth, which clocked 25 years. She termed late Rajiv Kapoor's directorial venture that starred Rishi Kapoor "as a film ahead of its times." The 'Kalank' actor took to Instagram and shared a couple of throwback pictures from behind the scenes.
Terming the movie as an 'iconic film,' Madhuri shared the first picture which is a still from a shot that features late legendary actors Shammi Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, as Madhuri stands with them and shares the screen space. The next image is of the star cast along with the production staff associated with the film and it also features late choreographer Saroj Khan.
The second snap is an all smiles picture of the 'Aaja Nachle' actor along with a young girl. Turns out she is actor Saloni Chopra, who had called out director Sajid Khan in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Chopra had worked as Khan's assistant on Housefull 2 (2012).
Directed by Rajiv Kapoor, the movie stars Rishi Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit and deals with the subject of sexual assault. The movie features an ensemble star cast including Shammi Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Om Puri, Prem Chopra, Reema Lagoo, Himani Shivpuri among many others. The plot of the film is adapted from of Thomas Hardy's English novel 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles'.
