Anil Kapoor recalls proposing his 24-episode television series to various Indian outlets. He said that “save for a few of them,” “nobody took me seriously.”
Anil Kapoor, an actor who will next be seen in the official Hindi remake of The Night Manager, has talked about his 2013 television series 24. Anil claimed in a recent interview that many professionals in the field were afraid to produce a long-form show ten years ago. Additionally, he said that his peers had also warned him not to work on the American TV show.
“Even when I was doing 24 internationally, everyone said you are a big screen, mainstream actor, how can you move to television,” Anil said in an interview with news agency PTI. For me, the focus is always on the plot and character. Whatever would happen, I had to watch it (TV). It was an exciting environment, so I wanted to bring it back. I promised to deliver all the platforms (here) 24 quality films when I pitched 24, but only a few platforms were interested.
Additionally playing significant roles in The Night Manager are Aditya Roy Kapur, Shobita Dhulipala, Tillotama Shome, Saswata Chatterjee, and Ravi Behl. The debut is on February 17. Anil will also appear in the films Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, and Fighter, starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone.
