Veteran actor Anil Kapoor recently admitted that he was extremely nervous about working with the legendary Hema Malini in the 1985 action thriller Yudh. Marking 41 years since the film's release, Anil confessed that dancing with Hema Malini was one of the most challenging aspects of the drama for him.
Sharing a still from their dance sequence on social media, the Animal actor wrote, "41 years of Yudh and I still can't forget this moment... Playing a double role was a breeze compared to dancing with Hema ji - That aspect of Yudh had me seriously nervous! She was already the biggest star of the country, with that larger-than-life presence... and there I was, a skinny young boy just spouting 'Jhakaas' and trying to keep up!"
Yudh, which marked the directorial debut of Gulshan Rai's son Rajiv Rai, also featured Jackie Shroff, Tina Munim, Pran, Danny Denzongpa, and Nutan in key roles, along with special appearances by Hema Malini and Shatrughan Sinha.
