Anil Kapoor has turned 63 today. The actor known for his unbelievably young looks made his debut in the film industry via Telugu and Kannada films in the 1980s. He went on to receive international recognition as he starred in Academy Award winning director Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire and Tom Cruise starrer Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

Most recently, the actor indulged in a Twitter war with director Anurag Kashyap for the promotion of their upcoming movie titled AK vs AK. The two are utilising the tense history between them to promote the Netflix original.

However, before this movie comes out on the OTT platform, let us take a look at some of the hit songs picturised on the actor.
