Anil Kapoor opposed Madhuri Dixit's casting in "Beta."

Anil Kapoor initially wanted Sridevi for the film "Beta," but she declined due to her preference for established directors. Madhuri Dixit was cast instead, as she was already working with director Indra Kumar on "Dil." Despite Anil Kapoor's concerns about Madhuri being a "minus" for the film, "Beta" became a major success. Adi Irani shared that Anil suggested Indra make a smaller film first, leading to the successful "Dil." Ultimately, "Beta" outperformed "Dil," establishing Indra Kumar as a successful director in Bollywood.
