Anil Kapoor has been on a roll. After an Oscar-winning film, Slumdog Millionaire, he is all set to debut on the small screen in America with one of its most popular drama and action series, 24.
Mr India of B-town was not nervous when his first international project, Slumdog Millionaire, went to the Oscars, BAFTAs and countless other award ceremonies. But now, he is likely to get butterflies in his stomach before his debut on the American TV series 24.
"It was a tough decision on my part, because I've always done films and movies and I've always been watched in theatres all over the world. But this is the first time people are going to watch me in their bedrooms. And I'm looking forward to it, because it makes it much more exciting. I want to see what the feedback is and how it turns out to be," Kapoor says.
With the eighth season of 24 boasting of a loaded star cast, including the likes of Kiefer Sutherland, Mary Lynn Rajskub and Freddie Prinze Junior, Kapoor surely had all the reasons to be latest addition to the show.
"Everybody loves a hero, anywhere in the world. And he's the epitome of a hero and everybody would love to be Jack. That's what you can't be in real life. It's very larger than life but still it's believable. That's what's great about the show. They deal with big issues but the scenes are very day to day, very normal. Dramatic scenes with a husband, wife, brothers," says Kapoor.
He is now raring to go and add another role to his impressive roster with the TV series. According to reports, Kapoor plays a Middle Eastern leader who comes to the US on a peacemaking mission.
From romancing Bollywood actors to producing films and now being a part of popular American TV series, Kapoor seems to be in the best phase of his career. It's time to applaud an actor whose second innings is proving to be more spectacular than the first one.
