Aamir Khan has always been a leader, inspiration: Anil Kapoor

June 9, 2016

Mumbai, Jun 9: For Anil Kapoor, doing both television shows and films is a tough ask and he looks up to Aamir Khan for inspiration.

Anil has been maintaining a fine balance by doing both television show and films.

aamir2“It is a tough ride to do both TV and films. Aamir Khan has always been a leader and inspiration. He is younger than me and sometimes you learn from them,” Anil told reporters here at the trailer launch of “24”.

“I remember while doing ‘Satyamev Jayate’ he did nothing else. I have had lot of film offers including an international film but I couldn’t do it as I had to shoot in July-August. We will focus on ’24’,” he said.

The first season of his television show “24”, based on the American series of the same name, came in 2013 and now the “Mr India” actor is back with the second season.

“I work in films as well. I was committed to do two films – ‘Dil Dadakane Do’, ‘Welcome Back’. The kind of show ’24’ is we need to do that kind of preparation. Writing also takes time. In the future we would take less time,” he added.

For the 59-year-old star, doing “24” has been a learning experience.

“I am evolving everyday with ’24’ as a producer and actor. It’s been a learning experience. This show is an adaptation but our dream is to make something that will travel all over the world,” he added.

Anil insists, no matter what the TRP of “24” would be his passion and dedication for the show will be same.

In the show “24”, Kapoor plays the role of ATS chief Jai Singh Rathore.

Kapoor, who had cast the likes of Tisca Chopra, Mandira Bedi, Shabana Azmi and Anupam Kher in the first season, will be joined by Sakshi Tanwar, Sikander Kher and Surveen Chawl in the second season.

New Delhi, April 6: Acknowledging on being scared and talking of not seeing his family for three weeks, actor Salman Khan along with nephew Nirvaan on Sunday shared their lockdown experience in a video message.

The 54-year-old star, without disclosing where the actor actually is, shared a video message on Twitter along with his brother Sohail Khan's son, Nirvaan.

Salman began the one-minute and 26-seconds long video, by saying: "We came here for a few days and now we're stuck and scared"

The 'Bharat' actor then introduced Nirvaan and asked him "How long has it been since you saw your father?", to which Nirvaan replied, "It must have been three weeks."

"I have not seen my father for three weeks. We are here and he is alone at home," Salman added.

The 'Sultan' actor then asks the boy: "You remember the film dialogue, 'the one who got scared, died.' It does not apply here in this situation. We are scared and bravely we admit that we are scared. Please don't be brave in this situation."

Nirvaan also further requested everybody to stay safe and maintain social-distance.

"I think it's better for everyone to stay home, avoid contact and I think the longer we stay indoors the faster this ends," he added.

The 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' star concluded the video by saying: "The one who got afraid saved himself and lives of others around him. Moral of the story, 'We're all scared'."

Urging people to take the government's advisory of self-isolation seriously amid the rising cases of coronavirus in the country, the megastar had earlier shared a video message for fans.
