Anil Kapoor walked down memory lane as Taal completed 25 years of its release. He portrayed the role of Vikrant Kapoor in Subhash Ghai’s directorial alongside Aishwarya Rai and Akshaye Khanna. In the latest post, the veteran actor recalled performing on Ramta Jogi without rehearsals.

Today, August 13, a while back, Anil Kapoor took to his Instagram handle and shared a series of throwback pictures featuring Subhash Ghai and Aishwarya Rai.

Reflecting on how the film was a milestone in his career, the Fighter actor wrote, "25 years ago, I had the privilege of being a part of a cinematic masterpiece that still resonates with audiences today - ‘Taal’. My portrayal of Vikrant Kapoor was an unforgettable moment in my career, and I’m forever grateful to Subhash Ghai for believing in me."

He further continued by writing, "Ramta Jogi is one of my favourite songs from the film, but what makes it truly special is the incredible story behind it - Farah Khan was originally supposed to choreograph the song, but she opted out at the last minute! Saroj Khan, the legendary choreographer, stepped in just a night before the shoot at Filmistan. And I, being the enthusiastic actor I am, did the song with no rehearsals at all!"
