When Satish Kaushik said he owes the revival of his career as a filmmaker to Anil Kapoor

Satish Kaushik, who passed away after suffering from a heart attack on March 8, had spoken about how he owes the revival of his career as a director to Anil Kapoor in one of his interviews in 2014.

In the interview, Satish Kaushik spoke about film producer Boney Kapoor and actor Anil Kapoor and said that because of his experience of working with them he learnt that relations are worth more than success or money.



Satish spoke about how his directorial projects ‘Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja’ and ‘Prem’ were both backed by Boney Kapoor although they never came out as intended. The actor-director added he had no regrets, and insisted that both Boney and Anil didn’t have any agenda against him even when they were reportedly responsible for the delay in the productions of the films.



“I learnt that relationships are worth more than success or money. I didn’t direct for a long time. But I didn’t rebel because I knew Boney and Anil didn’t have any agenda against me per se," Satish told Filmfare.

Elaborating further, Satish stated that he owes the revival of his career as a filmmaker to Anil Kapoor. Recalling how he landed ‘Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain’, he said, "Producer D Rama Naidu took on Anil and Kajol, who was the next big thing after Baazigar, for his Hindi remake of the South hit Pavithra Bandham. Anil coaxed him to take me on as the director even though Naidu saab wasn’t keen. Thankfully, Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain clicked and I got a new lease on life.”
