Anil Kapoor recently grabbed attention for a humorous comment at the trailer launch of his upcoming film Subedaar. The film is scheduled to premiere on March 5, 2026. It will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
During the event, a reporter asked Anil about his current equation with actresses he has worked with earlier. In response, the actor joked that no heroine wants to work with him anymore. He added that both younger and older actresses now prefer younger co stars.
His remark quickly sparked discussion on social media. Many users pointed out that ageism remains a serious issue in Bollywood. They said it affects casting choices and the kind of roles offered to senior actors.
Several people observed that Bollywood often pairs younger actresses with male stars who are much older. Others felt that the industry does not create enough strong roles for veteran actors once they move past their prime. The debate gained momentum online.
Despite mixed reactions, many fans took Anil’s statement as light hearted humour. Admirers praised his long and successful career spanning more than 100 films since 1979. His legacy in Hindi cinema continues to command respect.
Subedaar is directed by Suresh Triveni. The film features Radhika Madan and Mona Singh in key roles. Anil plays a retired soldier who takes on the sand mafia.
