Asked about the odd jobs he did, Anil said, "I wouldn't call them odd jobs because I loved doing them, like waking up the actors, picking them up, fetching them from the airport, dropping them to the location, looking after them, getting them right snacks and then the tea breaks. So all these kind of odd jobs I did."

 Speaking about how he upgraded from spot boy to a leading actor of Bollywood he added ,"Then of course I was upgraded to doing a bit of shopping of hardware for the shoot, and then scouting for locations, fixing and negotiating the prices for the locations. Then I was upgraded to the casting director. I was casting director for Hum Paanch, that's the first time my name appeared in the titles where I was mentioned as the casting director. After that, I did my course of acting. I was doing bit roles from 1977 to 1982. I did Telugu films and I did Kannada films, and then, of course, Woh Saat Din happened."
