Kitne aaye, kitne gaye......

Kitne aaye, kitne gaye, dekhenge do saal ke baad kaun kidhar hai ! [So many came and went, let's see who remains after two years !]
That's Anil Kapoor for you. Blunt, bold, confident yet mischievous.
In one of his recent interviews, he mentioned that he enjoys working most when odds are against him.
Citing the example of his recent 'Musafir', where inspite of working in a Sanjay Dutt-Sanjay Gupta camp, he was appreciated most for his intense performance, while everyone expected Dutt to be the one who may walk away with the accolades. Ditto for 'Deewana Mastana' where he was the most loved inspite of a winning David Dhawan-Govinda combination that was at its peak in those days. But still his 'jodi' with 'Gaffar' [played by Johny Lever] worked wonderfully well to bring the house down.
Similar had been the case in David Dhawan's 'Biwi No. 1' where inspite of playing a second lead to Salman Khan, his presence as a scheming 'punjabi' was awaited most at regular intervals on the screen.
Now with 'No Entry' getting ready to be released, you never know if he would turn out to be the surprise package in a movie dominated by hot bods like Salman Khan, Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta and Celina Jaitley!
Now that's confidence !
