Woh Saat Din was Anil Kapoor's breakout film. It also featured Padmini Kolhapure and Naseeruddin Shah. A remake of the 1981 Tamil film Antha Ezhu Naatkal, Woh Saat Din showcased the love story of aspiring singer Prem (played by Anil Kapoor) and Maya (played by Padmini Kolhapure), who was forced to marry doctor Anand (played by Naseeruddin Shah). After Anand finds out about Maya's love for Prem, he promises to reunite the two lovers. Raju Shrestha played the role of Chhottu, Anil Kapoor's young friend, in the film. Directed by Bapu, Woh Saat Din was co-produced by Anil Kapoor's filmmaker father Surinder Kapoor and his brother Boney Kapoor.
Anil Kapoor has worked in several hits such as Mashaal, Tezaab, Beta, Meri Jung, Karma, Janbaaz, Aap Ke Saath, Mr India, Benaam Badshah, Taal and Dil Dhadakne Do. He has also produced films like Badhaai Ho Badhaai, My Wife's Murder and Aisha.
