N
Chandra's
1988
film
Tezaab
starring
Anil
Kapoor
and
Madhuri
Dixit,
clocks
32
years
today
(November
11,
2020).
To
mark
this
milestone,
Anil
Kapoor
took
to
his
Twitter
page
to
dedicate
a
post
to
late
choreographer
Saroj
Khan
who
made
Madhuri
dance
to
her
tunes
on
the
iconic
'Ek
Do
Teen'
song
from
the
film.
Anil
Kapoor
tweeted,
"To
the
legend
who
made
the
song
Ek,
Do,
Teen
iconic
with
her
art
and
vision!
This
ones
for
your
Saroj
ji!
#32YearsOfTezaab."
Saroj
Khan
died
of
cardiac
arrest
at
the
age
of
71
on
July
3,
2020.
Post
her
demise,
Anil
Kapoor
recalled
in
an
interview,
"A
year
after
Mr
India,
Tezaab
released.
Madhuri
(Dixit)
was
still
a
relative
newcomer
when
we
handed
her
over
to
Sarojji.
After
two
weeks
of
rehearsal,
she
called
Chandra
(director
N
Chandra)
and
me
to
Satyam
Hall
and
Madhuri
performed
to
Ek
Do
Teen
for
us.
I
was
blown
over
by
the
moves
and
the
energy.
We
shot
the
song
in
Mehboob
Studio
and
watching
it,
I
was
like,
"Oh
God,
what
do
I
do!" I
got
them
to
shoot
a
male
version
with
me
which
was
not
there
in
the
script
in
front
of
where
Shah
Rukh's
(Khan)
bungalow
stands
today."
Meanwhile,
Madhuri
Dixit
had
earlier
shared
in
a
Filmfare
interview,
"Tezaab
was
the
movie
in
which
I
perfected
the
art
of
Bollywood
dancing.
Saroji
said
you
will
have
to
do
daily
rehearsals.
I
surprised
her
by
turning
up
every
day,
absolutely
hell-bent
on
getting
those
steps
and
expressions
perfect."
Tezaab
also
stars
Chunky
Panday
in
a
pivotal
role.
Interestingly,
his
role
was
earlier
offered
to
Govinda
who
couldn't
take
up
the
film
because
of
date
issues.
"I
am
lucky
he
(N
Chandra)
saw
me
as
Babban
and
so,
shot
some
extra
scenes
with
me.
He
even
gave
me
the
evergreen,
'So
Gaya
Yeh
Jahaan'
before
the
heavy
climax," Chunky
was
quoted
as
saying.
