Sanjeev Kumar Loaned Boney Kapoor Rs. 1,25,000 for Film Remake Rights
Imagine Boney Kapoor wanted to make a new movie called 'Woh Saat Din', which was a copy of a movie from another language.
He needed money to buy the special permission to copy the story.
He didn't have enough money himself, but two famous actors, Sanjeev Kumar and Shabana Azmi, helped him.
Sanjeev Kumar was so kind that he gave Boney Kapoor a lot of money, 1,25,000 rupees, to buy the movie rights.
This helped Boney make the movie, and his brother Anil Kapoor even starred in it!
Boney Kapoor revealed Sanjeev Kumar loaned him Rs. 1,25,000 to buy remake rights for 'Woh Saat Din'.
Anil Kapoor made his Bollywood debut in 'Woh Saat Din', produced by his brother Boney Kapoor.
Boney Kapoor had limited production experience before 'Woh Saat Din', having produced only 'Hum Paanch'.
'Woh Saat Din' was a remake of the Tamil film 'Andha 7 Naatkal'.
Boney Kapoor was inspired to remake the film after seeing an incomplete version of its Telugu adaptation.
