Anil Kapoor's 'Jhakaas' Inspires Auto Art Across India

Anil Kapoor's beloved catchphrase, 'Jhakaas,' continues to resonate deeply with fans, evidenced by its frequent appearance on auto rickshaws across India. During a recent appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show alongside his daughter Sonam Kapoor and co-star Rajkummar Rao, Anil shared amusing anecdotes about fans incorporating his poster and catchphrase onto their vehicles.

Rajkummar Rao further embellished this with a humorous personal memory from his youth. He recounted how auto rickshaws often featured images of stars like Anil Kapoor and Govinda, and passengers would playfully compete to sit on seats bearing Kapoor's likeness. The trio had gathered to promote their 2019 film, 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga.'

This romantic comedy-drama, directed by Shelly Chopra Dhar, was inspired by P.G. Wodehouse's novel 'A Damsel in Distress.' The film also marked a significant milestone as it was the first time Anil and Sonam Kapoor appeared on screen together, portraying a father-daughter relationship mirroring their real-life bond. The movie's title is derived from a song featured in the 1994 film '1942: A Love Story,' which also starred Anil Kapoor.
