Suniel Shetty gets a special birthday wish from 'Gopi Kishan' co-star Shilpa Shirodkar
Mumbai, Aug 11
As Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty turned a year older on Tuesday, his 'Gopi Kishan' co-star Shilpa Shirodkar compiled a special wish for him on social media.
She took to the Stories section of her official Instagram handle and posted a picture from the movie, along with 'Chhatri Na Khol Barsaat Mein', one of the most popular tracks from 'Gopi Kishan', crooned by Kumar Sanu and Poornima as the background score.
"Sab ke liye Anna but mere liye my only Gopi (red heart emoji) Wishing you an awesome birthday Suniel (sic)," Shilpa penned, wishing Suniel on his special day.
Directed by Mukesh Duggal, 'Gopi Kishan' featured Sunil Shetty in a dual role, along with Shilpa Shirodkar and Karishma Kapoor as the female leads. Suresh Oberoi, Aruna Irani, Mohan Joshi, Shammi, Satyendra Kapoor, and Mushtaq Khan were also a part of the ancillary cast of the drama.
A remake of K. Bhagyaraj's hit Tamil film "Avasara Police 100", 'Gopi Kishan' revolves around Gopi (Played by Suniel Shetty), a constable in the police force, and Kishan (Played by Suniel Shetty), a hardened criminal and Gopi's doppelgänger, who has returned home after spending 14 years in prison. Kishan takes it upon himself to punish his father after he learns that his father, Suraj Malhotra, was a jeweler who killed his partner and stole his precious jewels.
Backed by Mukesh Duggal, composer duo Anand-Milind provided the tunes for the drama, whereas Anees Bazmee has penned the script for the movie. The technical crew of 'Gopi Kishan' further includes Akram Khan as the cinematographer and A. Muthu as the editor.
Released on 2 December 1994, 'Gopi Kishan' turned out to be a success at the ticket counters.
In addition to 'Gopi Kishan', Suniel and Shilpa have also collaborated for the 1993 release 'Pehchaan', co-starring Saif Ali Khan and Madhoo.

Shilpa Shirodkar and Suniel Shetty's chemistry in Gopi Kishan was so underrated. This is such a sweet gesture from her. Wishing Suniel Anna a very happy birthday! The movie was a big part of my childhood.
It's nice to see Bollywood stars remembering their old co-stars. Gopi Kishan is a classic I grew up watching. Suniel Shetty has always been one of the most genuine actors in the industry. Happy birthday to him!
The 90s era of Bollywood was truly golden. Gopi Kishan's storyline with the doppelgänger concept was so gripping. Kumar Sanu's voice in that song is pure magic. Lovely birthday post by Shilpa ji. ❤️
Classic movie, great memories. It's nice to see how these actors still share such warm bonds even after decades. Happy birthday to Suniel Shetty, his action sequences in this film were top-notch!
Honestly, they don't make action entertainers like Gopi Kishan anymore. Suniel Shetty was the ultimate action hero of the 90s. Also, Shilpa Shirodkar's tribute is so classy. Wishing Suniel Anna a great year ahead!
