For some actors, success comes with their first film itself and for some, it takes multiple flops to finally have a hit under their hat. Often, we see some actors who are talented, but it takes a lot of effort to achieve their goals. That’s the thing about fate; we never know what would work and what wouldn’t and the film industry often depicts this unpredictability. With one actress, something like this happened. She had given back-to-back flops until she starred in one film that changed her life forever.
The movie we are talking about was released 36 years ago. This actress played a lead role alongside Anil Kapoor in it. Before this movie, she had given at least 10 flops and many wondered what’s next for her. However, the moment her film became a hit, it helped her become one of India’s biggest superstars. So who is she? Keep reading further.
The actress we are talking about is and the film that made her a superstar is Tezaab. Recently, the movie completed 36 years of its release and starred in the lead role. Their chemistry was quite sizzling in the movie and fans craved to see more of the duo on screen. The Ek Do Teen song from the film has become Dixit’s identity. Even today, the song is widely loved.
Before Tezaab, Madhuri Dixit had given a string of many flops. The movie was released in 1988 and was a major hit at the box office. That year, it became the highest-grossing Indian film and ran in theatres for 50 weeks, achieving the Golden Jubilee status and earning Rs 16 crore at the box office. The movie was remade in Telugu as Two Town Rowdy and in Tamil as Rojavai Killathe.
Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit’s Tezaab also have a connection. Ek Do Teen also had a male version with Anil Kapoor. The song was shot in Bandra’s Mannat Mansion, which is now owned by Shah Rukh Khan. When the song was shot, the mansion didn’t belong to Shah Rukh Khan.
