They are shown to be rivals in the film, and keeping up with the same, Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap took potshots at each other. The release of AK vs AK coincides with Anil Kapoor’s birthday today and Anurag Kashyap shared throwback pictures of them, while wishing the actor with a heartfelt post.

Anurag Kashyap shared pictures from 2003, from the promotional event of his film Allwyn Kalicharan which never got made. In the pictures, Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap can be seen together at the event. One of the pictures also shows a poster of the film, featuring Anil Kapoor. Sharing the story of this film, Anurag Kashyap wrote, “Today when #AKvsAK is releasing .. I want to put out these pictures of our launch of the most prized AK ( Allwyn Kalicharan) the film that never got made , and  @motwayne and  #AvinashSampat made it the basis for the ever experimental, genre defying Motwane’s yet again “FIFTH FILM by VM”.. all I want to say is Thank you Mr @anilskapoor .. the most secure (insecure actor) human being , who just does not know how to give up, who always challenges himself and also you(me) to be your best and always wants to come out on top.”

Anurag Kashyap further heaped praises at the actor, and wrote about what makes him the legend that he is. “The man who today at 64 or is it 65, is the most healthy competitor, is as hungry as he was when he started out. The man who can teach you so much about how to make the best out of what you have . He , who is not afraid to be vulnerable, to laugh at himself and to put himself out there in ways no one else does . A true Janbaaz like @vasanbala says . Thank you AK sir for inspiring me and pulling me out of my lethargy and reluctance and pushing me to do my best . A very very Happy Happy Birthday to you Young Man and endless love . #AkvsAk on @netflix_in today . Circa 2003,” he wrote. Check out the pictures below:
