Aditya Pancholi claims he lost acid to Anil Kapoor due to industry lobbying, cryptic comment: “Politics runs deep in the film industry”
Pancholi wrote in his post, “I was the real fan of this acid (1988), opposite @Madhuri Dixit. Director N. Chandra, who is still around, can confirm this. Unfortunately, an actor, through his elder brother (who remains active in the industry), influenced the director to replace me. The rest, as they say, is history.”
He further added, “Recently, I saw an #actor speaking about nepotism during the promotion of his new release. Let me say this clearly: Politics in the film industry goes much deeper than #nepotism. Favoritism, manipulation and power games shape careers more than family ties.”
Although Pancholi avoided taking any name directly, his comment is widely being interpreted as a veiled reference to acidThe lead actor, Anil Kapoor. The mention of “elder brother”, which appears to be a reference to producer Boney Kapoor, has also attracted attention – although Boney was not associated with it. acid In those days.

Pancholi’s tweet immediately gained attention, sparking a flurry of comments from users who shared their respective perspectives on the inner workings of Bollywood.
One user wrote, “The actor you mean has always lobbied for roles and is known to edit out other actors’ parts if they are better than him. He didn’t want Naseer saab in Parinda. This is just an example of how insecure he has been throughout his career.” Pancholi replied, “Let some things remain unsaid.”
Another follower commented, “But you two eventually worked together in Musafir. Was there any animosity on the sets, sir? There was also the whole Trimurti fiasco. And I also heard that he wanted to inherit you. Is that also true?” To this Pancholi replied, “I will write about Trimurti some other time. Thank you.”
However, a third user defended the Kapoor family, writing, “Boney and Anil Kapoor really had to struggle to reach the top in the eighties. It’s ridiculous to say that Boney used any power to influence Anil’s selection. You are a good actor but lack the boy-next-door appeal to succeed in such roles.” Pancholi did not respond to the comment.
