It has happened before. The parent is always wary of being seen with their star-child specially at the beginning of the newcomer’s career.
Dimple Kapadia said no to Sanjay Bhansali’s Khamoshi with daughter Twinkle and Dharmendra agreed to play Sunny and Bobby Deol’s father in Apne after so many decades in the industry (Dharmendra did play Sunny’s dad in his second film Sunny but they didn’t have scenes together).
To no one’s surprise Anil has turned down a chance to co-star with his daughter in her second film the much talked-about Dilli 6.
Says Anil, "It’s true Rakeysh Mehra offered me a role in Dilli 6. But I regretfully declined. Who wouldn’t want to work with Rakeysh after Rang De Basanti? Sonam is lucky to be working with him in her second film, after THE Sanjay Bhansali as her debut."
For now Anil has decided to stay away from offers to share screen space with his daughter. "In fact there have been 8-10 offers. But nothing that would tempt me into making this move right away.
