Suman Sharma
Anil Kapoor: A Family Man

The praise around the second season of his TV series 24 is only getting louder. Even as Anil Kapoor is busy shooting for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Fanney Khan, the adaptation of the Oscar-winning Belgium film Everybody’s Famous. Coming up is also Anees Bazmee’s Mubaraka with nephew Arjun Kapoor. He will also be producing his most ambitious project, a remake of the hit Bruce Willis starrer, RED. At an age when most men think about retirement, Anil is going great guns. But even in the midst of all that action, his priority is his family. Nothing gives him more joy than being with wife Sunita and children Sonam, Rhea and Harshvardhan Kapoor. The evergreen star talks about the passions that drive him…

WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER, JAI SINGH RATHORE, IN 24 SEASON 2?

He’s not the conventional black or white cop. He’s grey, real and human. I have to make him look convincing. People have to identify with him and appreciate him. The fight for Jai Singh Rathod this time is much bigger. We have tried to make the show more exciting in terms of scale, emotions, performances, marketing...

YOU’VE ALSO BOUGHT THE REMAKE RIGHTS OF AMERICAN TV SHOWS MODERN FAMILY AND PRISON BREAK…

I’m always on the lookout for good material. I’ve also bought a lot of other stuff, which is not out in the public domain. I’m keen on developing these for Indian screens.

YOU’VE ATTEMPTED EVERYTHING - TV, FILMS, HOLLYWOOD… WHAT’S NEXT?
