Anil Kapoor was last seen in AK vs AK and the actor was lauded for his performance. He has always been a family man head over heels in love with his wife Sunita Kapoor. In his recent interview, Anil Kapoor revealed that Sunita Kapoor was initially supposed to be a part of Vikramaditya Motwane’s directorial, but was sure she did not want to do this. Sunita Kapoor’s role was to be the one who calls the shots in the house but she was sure that she did not want to face the press. She had apologized for not being a part of this journey but Anil said that they were all scared of her. Recalling an incident where Vikramaditya Motwane wanted her to do a vocal cameo like that of Nawazuddin Siddiqui, when Anil asked her about it, she gave him a look and that was enough for them to back out. This answers the question about Sunita Kapoor being missing from the film for all those asking.

Every year, we come across films that make us cringe from start to finish or have particular sequences or dialogues that make us want to bury our heads in shame. Bollywood Hungama , in this special feature, collates a list of 20 such scenes and one-liners in Hindi films in 2020 that we felt were highly embarrassing. 1. Jai Mummy Di The film is about two warring mothers and sounded great on paper. But this so-called funny film hardly has any humour. Towards the end, the makers go on a flashback mode to unveil why the two of them started fighting in the first place. We hoped the film would finally go on a high here but sadly, it turned out to be the worst part of the movie. Even the cameos of Nushrratt Bharuccha, Ishita Raj and Varun Sharma didn’t help.   2. Street Dancer 3D This film had some poignant moments as it touched upon the burning issue of illegal immigration. One plot, however, made no sense. Varun Dhawan’s character Sahej helps immigrants travel from Punjab to UK. In t
