Anil Kapoor Purposely Slapped Me Hard Thrice During ‘Welcome’: Adi
The world of Bollywood is known for its glitz, glamour, and drama, both on and off screen. But sometimes, even the most seasoned actors can get caught up in the heat of the moment, leading to unexpected and sometimes uncomfortable situations. A recent revelation by actor Adi Irani, who played the role of an advocate in the 2007 comedy film ‘Welcome’, has left many surprised and intrigued.
In a recent interview, Adi Irani revealed that Anil Kapoor, the lead actor of the film, purposely slapped him thrice during the hospital scene. Yes, you read that right – thrice! The incident occurred during the shoot of the film, and Adi Irani recalled the incident in an interview with a leading daily.
“I confronted him and said, ‘Anil ji, what’s this? You slapped me really hard. This is not done’,” Adi Irani recalled, still visibly shaken by the incident. When asked why Anil Kapoor did it, Adi Irani explained, “Anil believes the more real he performs, the more authentic the reaction will be. He didn’t apologize for it, and he did it purposefully.”
The incident occurred during the filming of a hospital scene, where Anil Kapoor’s character, a father, is frantically searching for his missing daughter. Adi Irani’s character, an advocate, is trying to calm him down and explain the situation. Anil Kapoor’s character, in a fit of rage, slaps Adi Irani’s character three times, leaving him stunned and shocked.
While it’s not uncommon for actors to get into the zone and immerse themselves in their characters, it’s unusual for an actor to slap another actor repeatedly without any provocation. Adi Irani’s revelation has left many fans and colleagues of Anil Kapoor stunned, wondering what could have driven the actor to behave in such a manner.
Anil Kapoor is known for his intense preparation and dedication to his roles, and it seems that his method acting approach led him to go to such extreme lengths during the filming of ‘Welcome’. While Adi Irani’s revelation has sparked a lot of interest and debate, it’s clear that the incident has left a lasting impact on both actors.
Adi Irani’s revelation is not the first time that Anil Kapoor’s intense preparation and method acting approach have been called into question. In the past, there have been rumors of Anil Kapoor’s on-set behavior being quite intense, with some actors even reporting that he would often get into arguments with co-stars and crew members.
However, it’s worth noting that Anil Kapoor’s intense preparation and dedication to his roles have also been praised by many in the industry. His performances in films like ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’, ‘Vishwatma’, and ‘Pukar’ are still widely acclaimed, and he has been praised for his versatility and range as an actor.
In conclusion, Adi Irani’s revelation about Anil Kapoor’s behavior on the set of ‘Welcome’ has sparked a lot of interest and debate in the industry. While it’s clear that Anil Kapoor’s intense preparation and method acting approach can lead to some intense and memorable performances, it’s also important to remember that actors are human beings and should be treated with respect and dignity on set.
As the industry continues to evolve and adapt to new trends and technologies, it’s essential that we prioritize a safe and respectful working environment, where actors can freely express themselves and bring their best performances without fear of physical or emotional harm.
