'We Are Cut From The Same Cloth, The Same DNA' - Anil & Arjun Kapoor

Bollywood's much loved iconic superstar, ANIL KAPOOR is intense, passionate and refreshingly enthusiastic about each and every thing; while his nephew, the Ishaqzaade hottie ARJUN KAPOOR, whose tryst with stardom has been just five years, is super confident, equally passionate and intense yet endearingly vulnerable more so when he confesses unabashedly that in the first two years after his debut, he didn't know whether he was coming or going - he had just lost his mother and it had almost broken him.

...And so when the incredible duo get talking to Sumita Chakraborty, their chemistry is electrifying. Time just flies unshacked as the chachabhatija's animated answers speak of their intensity, intelligence and their love and passion for films. Indeed, the Anil-Arjun combination is sheer magic. Read on to know more about their unbreakable bond, beliefs and their latest film Mubarakan.

There is magic in the air, in fact, you can actually sense an amazingly tangible vibe full of vigour, positivity and excitement. And it all seems to be emitting from the magnetic dynamo who walks into our midst. …And the man is none-other than the legendary Anil Kapoor. In fact, even after four decades in the industry, his passion, intensity and enthusiasm for any and every subject under the sun is incredibly infectious – be it talking about the painful bursitis in his left leg or the film he is currently extremely excited about – Mubarakan. Incidentally, there is a casting coup of some sorts here as both Anil and his incredibly good-looking nephew Arjun Kapoor are co-starring for the first time in this film – that too, Anil as a Sardar and Arjun, in a unique double role.

Stardust too manages the same casting coup by putting both these incredible actors on the cover. And hence I am at Anil Kapoor’s house waiting for his super hot nephew Arjun Kapoor to arrive. Arjun, one of the most talented and happening younger stars in the Bollywood circuit, walks in looking suave, fresh, and rarin’ to go. But before I can even start the interview, the chacha-bhatija duo start an animated discussion about the many nuances of dubbing their film. Wow! Such passion and intensity… indeed there is a unique energy that the Kapoors bring in along with them. …And the chemistry between Anil and Arjun is crackling and so alive. In fact, they both sound equally vibrant and passionate, and with that in mind, my interview unfolds. Read on…

Anil, you look fresh and vibrant, and so very passionate about your work. In fact, you could give any of the younger stars a run for their money. What is the secret?
