MUMBAI: Anil Kapoor starrer ‘Judaai’ completes 25 years, and the actor reveals the story behind this hit family drama. The film featuring late actor Sridevi and Urmila Matondkar in the lead roles enjoyed great success at the box office and multiple screenings on the cable over the years.

Anil has revealed that he was not always on board with the film's idea. “I kept on saying no to the film as I could not connect with my character. I had a lot of pressure from family and the family production company as we were going through tough times financially after the debacle of Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja,” he said.
Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja also starred him with Sridevi. It was directed by Satish Kaushik and made on a massive budget but failed at the box office.
In 2018, on the film's 25 years, director Kaushik Satish had tweeted an apology to producer Boney Kapoor for the movie. “Yes 25 yrs ago it was a disaster at BO but it was my first child and will remain close to heart. Remembering madam #SrideviLivesForever and my sorry to @BoneyKapoor who gave me a break but was broke after the film,” he wrote.
Apart from these two films, Anil and Sridevi also starred together in Mr. India, Lamhe, and more. Theirs was one of the Bollywood most-loved pairings.
