When Anil Kapoor rented Sanjay Dutt’s suits to wear at parties

Actors Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt have worked together in quite a few movies and the two share a great bond. But not everyone is aware of the fact that Anil used to attend parties, wearing Sanjay Dutt’s suits on rent.

Filmmaker Subhash Ghai recently organised a bash to celebrate the 30th year of ‘Ram Lakhan’, which was attended by Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Satish Kaushik and Gulshan Grover at Ghai’s newly launched 70 mm theatre, MuktaA2, previously called New Excelsior.

During the occasion, a footage from the premiere of ‘Ram Lakhan’ was shown which featured Anil in a dashing suit. Looking at which Anil revealed, “One thing I have to say is that the suit that I wore on the premiere, I am sure it was 100 per cent a rented suit. It wasn’t mine.” (Also Read: Here comes the first look of Anil Kapoor as Kartar Singh from ‘Mubarakan’)

To which, Gulshan remembered the time they used to rent suits. “The suit really wasn’t Anil’s. It was Rajeev Mehra’s wedding and there were five to six functions. Neither Anil nor I had suits. So we both used to go to Akbar (designer) to borrow suits of other actors. And he used to give Anil Kapoor suits of Sanjay Dutt while I used to get only shirts. He never thought I would become an actor,” Grover said.

Hearing which, Anil added, “I remember. You’re absolutely right. Akbar was kind enough to give me Sanjay Dutt’s suits to wear. They were a little loose, because he (Dutt) was well built and I was single ‘pasli’. But I used to wear his suits.”

Clearly, Anil had no idea that he would go on to become such a big star.
