The casting of N Chandra’s 1988 blockbuster romantic action film Tezaab came back into spotlight last month after actor Aditya Pancholi claimed he was the first choice for the film, but was unceremoniously replaced because of nepotism. While the film was produced by Chandra as well, it was producer Boney Kapoor’s influence that got Pancholi replaced by his younger brother Anil Kapoor as the male lead of the film. Another lesser known trivia exists about the casting of the female lead of Tezaab. Initially, Meenakshi Sesdhari was being considered for the part. The actor, who broke through in Hindi cinema opposite Jackie Shroff in Subhash Ghai’s 1983 action romance Hero, became one of the leading female actors of the 1980s. She was also doing Tinnu Anand’s 1988 cult vigilante action film Shahenshah opposite Amitabh Bachchan when she was approached for Tezaab. After negotiations that went on for months, N Chandra decided to drop Seshadri because he couldn’t agree to the high fees quoted by her. She was eventually replaced by rising star Madhuri Dixit, who …
