In 1983 he made his debut as a leading actor in Bollywood with Woh Saat Din directed by Bapu which made him a household name all across India. At the same time, his brother Boney Kapoor wanted him to do the movie called 'I Love You' but he chose Woh Saat Din and it changed his life.

In 1985 he did the movie Yudh in which he spoke the iconic dialogue "Maska Hai Maska... Ek Dum Jhakaas" the word 'Jhakaas' stayed with him forever and many people call him 'Jhakaas' and it looks cool on him.

Anil got the leading role in Shekhar Kapur's Sci-Fi movie Mr. India in 1987 alongside Sridevi which became the biggest hit of that year. It is still considered as one of the best Sci-Fi movies Bollywood has ever made.

With Tezaab in 1988, he bagged the second Filmfare award for the best actor which was also a blockbuster (massively successful) at the box office.

Next year in 1989 he did Ram Lakhan with Jackie Shroff and Madhuri Dixit which became the second biggest movie of that year in terms of Box Office. His role as a cheerful young brother became super famous and the song 'My name is Lakhan' is still considered one of his best songs ever.

The same year he did 'Parinda' with Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff & Madhuri Dixit in which his superb performance was appreciated. It was one of the classic films ever made in India by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

'Kishen Kanhaiya' was his first film in 1990 in which he essayed the role of twin brothers which became a hit. With 'Ghar Ho To Aisa' the same year he proved that small family films can also work at the box office.

Then for the first time, he shaved his mustache for Yash Chopra's 'Lamhe'. The film was a flop in India but it did well overseas. Benaam Badsha in 1991 with Juhi Chawla was also a failure.

Beta was his first release in 1992 alongside Madhuri Dixit which was the biggest film of that year in terms of money. He also won the second Filmfare award for Best Actor.

In 1993, Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja produced by Boney Kapoor was a disaster at the box office. Then he gave a successful film named 'Laadla'.

1942: A Love Story was his next film which did well at the box office and his performance was also applauded. Trimurti released in 1995 was a disaster at the box office.

In 2000 as well he did Pukar for which he won his first National Film Award for Best Actor and also the Filmfare award for best actor.
In 2001 came his finest performance considered by many in Nayak movie where he becomes CM for one day and catches all the corrupts in the city.
