The article from *The Times of India* discusses a recent revelation by actor **Aditya Pancholi** regarding his role in Bollywood's 1988 hit film **Tezaab**. Pancholi claims that he was the original choice for the film, which starred **Anil Kapoor** and **Madhuri Dixit**. He alleges that he was replaced by Anil Kapoor due to the influence of Kapoor's elder brother, **Boney Kapoor**, who is a prominent film producer. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Pancholi shared a throwback photo of himself and stated, "I was the original choice for Tezaab (1988), opposite @MadhuriDixit. Director N. Chandra, still very much around, can confirm this." He further mentioned that he was replaced when "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." Although Pancholi did not directly mention Anil or Boney Kapoor's names, social media users quickly linked the statement to the Kapoor brothers, given the context. This revelation has sparked discussions among Bollywood fans, with many interpreting Pancholi's comments as a subtle jab at the Kapoor family.
