Actor Aditya Pancholi recently claimed that he was the first choice for the 1988 film 'Tezaab'. He said, "An actor (indirectly referring to Anil Kapoor), through his elder brother (Boney Kapoor), influenced the director to replace me." He added, "Politics in film industry runs deeper than nepotism, favouritism, manipulation, and power games shape careers more than family ties ever could."
