Mumbai, April 8 (NationPress) As the film “Lucky” celebrates its 20th anniversary today, writer-director duo Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru shared their fond memories from the film and their lasting admiration for Salman Khan.
The duo fondly recalls their experience working with Khan, who they describe as their ‘forever favorite hero’. Reflecting on their directorial debut, Radhika and Vinay expressed, “They say your first is always special and Lucky truly was. To have Salman Khan as part of our very first film was nothing short of magical. He’ll always be our forever favourite hero. It’s hard to believe it’s already been two decades since we shared a love story that touched so many hearts. The songs, the memories, the love, they still live on, and always will.”
Today marks the 20th anniversary of “Lucky: No Time For Love” hitting theaters. A source disclosed that the entire film was shot in an intense 65-day schedule. The romantic drama, released in 2005, starred Salman Khan and Sneha Ullal in the lead roles, alongside Mithun Chakraborty, Kader Khan, Navni Parihar, and Ravi Baswani.
The narrative follows Lucky (played by Sneha), who, after escaping an assault, finds refuge in Aditya’s car. Amidst a terrorist attack, the two strangers support one another, facing unimaginable challenges. This is a tale of two individuals who test their limits and, most importantly, discover love.
Notably, one of the standout legacies of “Lucky: No Time For Love” is its memorable music, with Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru introducing Adnan Sami as a film composer. The duo curated what has become a collector’s album, featuring an extraordinary lineup of iconic voices, including Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Anuradha Paudwal, Sonu Nigam, Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, and Adnan Sami himself.
The film premiered on 8 April 2005.
