Actor Anil Kapoor says his 1987 blockbuster "Mr India", which completed 33 years on Monday, will always remain a landmark film for him. The movie, written by Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, featured Kapoor as Mr India and late Sridevi as a journalist, with veteran actor Amrish Puri playing the iconic villain Mogambo. It was directed by filmmaker Shekhar Kapur. Taking to Instagram, Kapoor uploaded the video of the song "Zindagi Ki Yahi Reet Hai" and shared how the track came into being.

"'Mr India' was and always will be a very important film for me. I remember even 34 years ago when we began the journey became obsessed with every detail. From the time I heard the tune of 'Zindagi Ki Yahi Reet Hai' I could only imagine Kishore Da's voice singing it. "At the time, Kishore Kumar and Laxmikant Pyarelal did not want to work together. It took months to even get in touch with Kishore da. When I finally did, I went to Kishore Kumar's residence and mediated their patch up... the end result was this beautiful melody which is so uplifting during these tough times," Kapoor captioned the video.
