He wrote: “25 years ago, I had the privilege of being a part of a cinematic masterpiece that still resonates with audiences today - 'Taal’. My portrayal of Vikrant Kapoor was an unforgettable moment in my career, and I'm forever grateful to Subhash Ghai for believing in me.” The actor said that “Ramta Jogi” is one of his favourite songs from the film. He added: “But what makes it truly special is the incredible story behind it - Farah Khan was originally supposed to choreograph the song, but she opted out at the last minute! Saroj Khan, the legendary choreographer, stepped in just a night before the shoot at Filmistan.”
