Mumbai Mirror has learnt that he will shave his goatee off for the portrayal of real-life cop Isaque Bagwan. "Earlier, Anil was supposed to shave his goatee for Hollywood film Cities with Clive Owen .

But the goatee has sentimental value to him so he didn't," the source added. When contacted, director Sanjay Gupta said, "Yes, it's true.

This will add more authenticity to Anil's character. Some time ago, Anil met Isaque Bhagwan and spent time with him to get into the skin of his character.

A source said, "Anil and Jackie have always been great friends for years now. The duo, however, met each other after a long time.

The posters of "1942: A Love Story" were plastered at the nook and corner of the cinema house. Even Manisha Koirala made it a point to be present at the event.

" Looking at the film's poster Anil remarked to Jackie that while he (Anil) and Manisha (Koirala) looked the same, but his (Jackie's) appearance had changed completely. This probably did not go down well with Shroff who just smirked over the comment.

"A disgruntled Jackie did not know how to react over Anil's comment. Things however turned fine as Jackie took Anil's comment sportingly.

The duo then caught up talking about good old days when they were constantly shooting together for films like " Ram Lakhan ", " Parinda " and " Karma "." Jackie and Anil are keen to do films together even today.

Any takers? (less)

"I remember when he came to me to narrate the film, he told me that he had only Rs.17 and he had no money to make the film, but he wanted to make 'Parinda'.

So, that's the way the journey started," said Anil. Chopra has been connected to several iconic films as director, writer or producer.

A large crowd had gathered at the mall since morning, who waited patiently, to have a glimpse of the star. Finally when Anil did arrive, a loud cheer went through the crowd who leaned on each other to see their favourite character Lakhan from the film "Ram Lakhan".

People leaned on the railings and escalators to have a dekko of the actor who looked dapper in a black jacket and jeans. "Good evening, namaskar and Sat Sri Akal," were the words with which Anil Kanpoor greeted his fans at the mall.

"Kanpur se mera bahut purana rishta hai, yahan main apni sabse pehli film ke promotion ke liye aya tha. Phir se aa ke bahut accha lag raha hai.

Aap logon ka pyar hai jo main film industry mein 35 saalon se kaam kar raha hun. Aap logon ne "Mr India", "Tezaab", "Ishwar" aur "No Entry" dekhi hogi ab meri latest film dekhiye," said he (less)
