Anil Kapoor advised Ajay Devgn to not release Phool Aur Kante against Lamhe

Rohit Shetty shared an anecdote about Anil Kapoor assuming that Phool Aur Kaante wouldn’t stand a chance against Lamhe. Phool Aur Kaante was directed by Kuku Kohli and marked Ajay’s acting debut. Anil, who had worked with Ajay’s father, the action director Veeru Devgan, was concerned. Lamhe, directed by Yash Chopra and starring Anil and Sridevi in lead roles, ultimately underperformed at the box office, while Phool Aur Kaante emerged as a hit.
