Rajkumar Santoshi says he taught Aamir Khan, Rishi Kapoor, Anil Kapoor how to emote: ‘Had to mould them’

He told Bollywood Hungama, “Thanks to the super-success of Ghayal (1990), even established actors behaved like newcomers on my sets, be it Rishi Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Aamir Khan or Salman Khan. They were all enthusiastic on my sets. I had to mould them and teach them as well about how to emote and perform.”

Santoshi worked with Salman and Aamir on Andaz Apna Apna. Anil Kapoor starred in Pukar which was written and directed by Santoshi. Rishi Kapoor played a pivotal role in Damini.

Santoshi also mentioned that he didn’t cast Namashi Chakraborty in Bad Boy because he was Mithun Chakraborty’s son but because he liked his performance during the auditions. He said, “Sajid (Qureshi) bhai told me that Mithun Chakraborty’s son Namashi is very interested to work. I made it clear, ‘I’ll audition him and if required, I’ll even shoot a scene with him. If he’s right, we’ll consider him’.”

Bad Boy will hit the theaters on April 28. It features Mithun Chakraborty in a cameo appearance.
