Mumbai, Feb 13 (IANS): Anil Kapoor recently took to social media to mark the 44th anniversary of his iconic film “Kahan Kahan Se Guzar Gaya,” reflecting on the significant influence of Hollywood legends Marlon Brando and James Dean on his acting journey.
The actor shared how their unforgettable performances in “A Streetcar Named Desire” and “Rebel Without a Cause” inspired his own craft, guiding and shaping his portrayal in the film. Kapoor also paid tribute to the legendary team behind the movie, including director M.S. Sathyu and cinematographer Ishan Arya.
On Thursday, Anil took to his Instagram handle and posted his throwback photos from the cult film and captioned it, “When I started training as an actor I drew inspiration from Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire and James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause. Their presence was always in the back of my mind—guiding, influencing, inspiring. They have always been a source of admiration for me #44YearsOfKahanKahanSeGuzarGaya! Directed by the legendary M.S. Sathyu, with stunning cinematography by Ishan Arya, and unforgettable moments captured by the iconic Nemai Ghosh. Honored to be part of this journey.”

Anil is next gearing up for the release of Suresh Triveni’s action drama "Subedaar." The upcoming film also stars Radhikka Madan in the lead role. Set against the backdrop of India’s heartland, the film follows the compelling journey of Subedaar Arjun Maurya as he navigates the challenges of civilian life.
