Sanjay Kapoor reveals shocking aftermath of 1999 hit Sirf Tum
Sanjay Kapoor is an actor from a famous Indian film family.
In 1999, he starred in a movie called Sirf Tum that became a very big hit.
But after the movie was successful, nobody offered him another movie.
Sanjay thinks that was strange and says it is his 'destiny.'
He says today's actors get many chances after just one hit movie.
His career got off to a hard start because his first movie, Prem, took eight years to make and did not do well.
Another movie of his, Raja, almost did not happen because people lost hope.
The director, Indra Kumar, rewrote and reshot the whole movie to make it better.
He says famous stars like Madhuri Dixit and Saroj Khan helped save the film.
Sanjay also says Sirf Tum is special because the hero and heroine only meet at the very end.
Sanjay Kapoor says his 1999 hit Sirf Tum did not lead to a single new film offer.
He claims no producer approached him after the film's success, calling it his 'destiny.'
Raja and Sirf Tum were his only two major box-office successes as a leading actor.
His debut film Prem (1995) flopped after taking eight years to complete.
Director Indra Kumar reshot Raja and credited Madhuri Dixit, Saroj Khan, and his writers for saving the film.
