David Dhawan's Biwi No. 1 completed 27 years of its release on Thursday. Actor Anil Kapoor, who played a supporting but very pivotal role in the movie, took to X to revisit the film, and he shared some interesting anecdotes about Biwi No. 1.
He tweeted, "Some films feel special, even as you’re making them. Biwi No. 1 was truly one such film. A role that was originally portrayed by Kamal Haasan, it gave me a season full of awards, a friendship with Salman that only grew stronger, and Tabu! Two films together, two blockbusters, both still living rent-free in people’s hearts even after 27 years... That's pretty precious in my books! (sic)."
He also revealed that the song Hai Hai Michi was created during a flight. The actor further wrote, "And then there was Sukhwinder Singh, who created Hai Hai Mirchi spontaneously during a flight. That’s the kind of magic this film was made of (sic)."
Biwi No. 1 was released in 1999, and it was one of the biggest hits of the year. It won multiple awards, and Sushmita for her performance in the movie received mostly all the Best Supporting Actress awards.
