24 (Anil Kapoor Version)

[rvisharma]

One of my best TV series of all time becoming desi!

Colors, Anil Kapoor ink deal to broadcast '24' in India > afaqs! news & features

Anil kapoor, please do some justice with Jack Bauer.

I also read something about cast: Chunky Pandey is in it

As for the cast and crew, Kapoor has promised the channel that there will be no known names on the show. However, word is that Ronit Roy, Atul Kulkarni, Chunky Pandey and Vidyut Jamwar will essay some of the lead roles. And, as we already know, Kapoor will play the main protagonist, anti-terror squad leader Jack Bauer, essayed by his favourite actor Keifer Sutherland in the original version. What's more? Abhinao Deo of Delhi Belly fame will direct the show. One wonders though, who will play the middle-eastern leader Omar Hassan, the role bagged by Kapoor in the American series...

Chunky Pandey is in it, how can it be good?

 

[Sushubh]

Anil Kapoor to play India's Jack Bauer? Anyone who has seen Chocolate can tell that it has fail written all over it.

" lol wtf?" is the appropriate reaction to this news. And i guess pakistanis will be terrorists in this series? well they aren't!

 

[Sushubh]

well that would mean that they would lose out pakistan as a potential territory to sell out this series in?

I still fail to understand what went wrong with Anil Kapoor and his career.I cant recall a solo hit from him since Beta.His so many good movies went flop, inspite of some great/touching acting by him. (Nayak/Pukar were hit on TV not in cinemas)Had those gone hit, he would currently be in same line as SRK, Aamir, Salman. Or even Amitabh.

from what i see all of these actors are just becoming practical with their approach. what is the point of focusing on good movies which do not do well financially? kapoor has 3-4 major hollywood projects. Mission Impossible, Slumdog Millionaire, 24 etc. He also does smaller roles in bollywood projects. Probably making more money than he would have focusing on sole lead movies which are unlikely to do well anyways.
