David Dhawan’s 1999 hit film Biwi No. 1 is all set for a grand re-release in theaters on November 29, 2024, marking its 25th anniversary. Known for its humorous take on relationships, loyalty and family dynamics, the movie brought audiences a blend of comedy and emotion. Starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Sushmita Sen, Anil Kapoor and Tabu, with a cameo by Saif Ali Khan, Biwi No. 1 remains a beloved classic.
While the film’s re-release is creating significant buzz among moviegoers, let us have a look at a notable moment from the 1999 press conference promoting the film featured Anil Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan addressing questions about their supporting role and smaller screen space with insightful comments.
During the press meet, when questioned about their limited screen time, Saif Ali Khan shared his perspective, stating, “I happen to believe that there are no such things as small roles. It’s a good gesture for people interested in cinema to take on roles, no matter how big or small. This approach helps to grow creatively.”
While Anil Kapoor highlighted the importance of a strong script rather than the screen time. He said, “What matters is how good the script is and my role in it. A film’s success is the most important thing. If I like a script, even if it’s a 2- or 3-minute role, I’ll do it. There are Oscars awarded for 8-minute performances, which shows it’s the quality, not the duration, that counts.”
Saif then playfully mocked the media saying, “You’re taking this too seriously,” which left everyone laughing. For the full insights watch the fun interaction of the stellar cast and crew with media, in the video below!
