Berlin, Aug 6: Veteran actor Anil Kapoor has said audiences will not like to watch a biopic on him as his life has been free of controversies.

The 61-year-old actor said, a tell-all film on his life will make a boring watch. 

"Nobody will want to see my biopic. It will be boring. I have never been involved in a controversy or anything like that," Kapoor said. 

The actor was speaking at the concluding session of Natcon 2018, the annual conference of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (Credai) here yesterday.

The apex body of real estate developers hosted the three-day 18th edition of Natcon in the German capital from August 2 

During the event the "Fanney Khan" actor revealed that initially in his career he did films for money.

"I did some films because I needed the money. But I regretted later. One doesn't repeat such mistakes." 

Kapoor also recounted how he was dismayed when he could not secure admission to the Pune-based Film and Television Institute of India (FTII).

"I was shocked when I failed the FTII written exam. I thought what's the connection between a written exam and acting. I met the Institute incharge Girish Karnad. He said rules are rules.

"I failed the exam, but I am here. Now look at the list of who all passed out from there," he said.

The actor said that a film may not do well, but audiences remember his performance, "Similarly, a developer may not make money in a project, but people must say, what a building has been made." 

Kapoor believes developers and real estate industry in India should follow the German automobile icon Mercedes when it comes to giving a quality product to consumers.

"Quality matters. Like Mercedes. They keep on reinventing. They keep changing the packaging but maintain quality," he said, speaking at an event in the German capital.

Mercedes-Benz is a division of the German company Daimler AG, headquartered in Stuttgart.

Los Angeles, Mar 24: In a bizarre video shot from her rose petal filled bathtub, pop star Madonna has called the coronavirus pandemic "a great equaliser".

The music icon said the virus doesn't discriminate between rich and poor.

That's the thing about COVID-1. It doesn't care about how rich you are, how famous you are, how funny you are, how smart you are, where you live, how old you are, what amazing stories you can tell.

It's the great equaliser and what's terrible about it is what's great about it. What's terrible about it is that it's made us all equal in many ways, and what's wonderful about is, is that it's made us all equal in many ways, Madonna said in the video while having a milky bath in tub full of roses.

The 61-year-old singer, who had to cancel two of her concerts in Paris due to coronavirus outbreak, also referenced her 1995 song Human Nature in the video saying we are all going down together .

According to the Johns Hopkins coronavirus tracker, the death toll from the virus globally has risen to 14,641 with 336,000 cases reported in 173 countries and territories.
