The globe celebrates a decade of Slumdog Millionaire on Wednesday, January 23. A film that made headlines and set a benchmark in so many ways. The multi-Academy award-winning film also brought megastar Anil Kapoor massive critical acclaim over the globe for his flamboyant and nuanced portrayal of game show's host, Prem Kumar.


While the film went on to become a game changer for the star, what few know is that it was Anil Kapoor's son, Gen- X actor HarshVardhan Kapoor, who actually convinced him to do the film.
