MUMBAI: One can never stop grooving on evergreen songs like ‘Taki oh Taki’, ‘Sheesha ho ya ho dil ho’, ‘Sa re ke saare’. Well, upcoming weekend on The Kapil Sharma Show will be filled with relishing 90s songs and stories as Bollywood’s renowned father – son duo Jitendra Kapoor and Tushar Kapoor will grace the set. Reliving golden era of Bollywood, ‘Jitu ji’ will be seen cherishing old good memories with popular faces of cinema: Shri Devi, Jay Prada, Mehmood and Prem Chopra. Moreover, he will be seen talking about transformations in the Bollywood industry that he has experienced over the years.
Kapil went on asking Jitendra about film promotions of his movies. Narrating about his movies he mentioned, “In those days if a film released in Mumbai’s theatre it used to come in Delhi’s theatre after a year. And this was never a crises or piracy issue for the makers.” Kapil added, “I remember watching DDLJ in Amritsar’s theatre after two years.” To which Jitu ji surprised with his response. He mentioned, “According to me my best film of the entire carrier Farz was flop in its initial 13 weeks. After 13 weeks it picked up unlike today when movies become ancient in 13 weeks.” He later revealed that another film Jine ki raah picked up after four weeks of its release.
In another candid conversation, Jitendra mentioned that makers never released songs prior to the movie release. He said, “Makers were furious that if they will release the song audience might not appreciate it in the theatres.” Conversations continued when Kapil enquired from Jitu ji on how actors managed their fitness as there were no gym in those days. Jitendra commented, “We are not bodybuilder, we are actors. When we started our journey, actors focused more on looking healthy and chubby. I remember I was 82kgs when I was shooting for Karwaan and 74kgs when I was shooting Parichay.”
