'Ramta Jogi is one of my favourite songs from the film but what makes it truly special is the incredible story behind it - Farah Khan was originally supposed to choreograph the song, but she opted out at the last minute! Saroj Khan, the legendary choreographer, stepped in just a night before the shoot at Filmistan. And I, being the enthusiastic actor I am, did the song with no rehearsals at all," he added, saying "working alongside the phenomenal dancer, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, was a thrill in itself."
"And to top it all off, 'Taal' swept all the major awards for me as the best supporting actor that year, including Filmfare, Zee, IIFA, and Screen Awards! It was a truly humbling experience. Here's to many more years of music, dance, and drama! #25YearsOfTaal," Anil concluded.
He also shared some pictures from the sets of 'Taal'.
'Taal' also featured Alok Nath, Mita Vashisht, and Amrish Puri. The film was a major hit upon its release, receiving several awards and accolades for its music, direction, and performances.
