The Night Manager Trailer Launch: Anil Kapoor talks about debuting on web shows, “We are all risk takers”
Readers would be aware that Anil Kapoor remade the popular American thriller series 24 which aired on Indian television. While the actor returned to films soon after that, he has now decided to experiment with the genre of web-shows. In a media interaction, the actor revealed that the medium doesn’t matter as far as he gets to do roles, characters, and scripts that interest him. “It’s the role, the people, the team involved and that’s what draws you into it. Whatever little I have done in my career, I have always done things like that.”
He recalled the time when he did 24, when ‘mainstream’ actors did not try out OTT or for that matter, even television. He continued, “It was a time when no big screen actor came into OTT or TV. Not just in India but also internationally. So it’s just a role! When you get one like that, you just grab it.” Now that he has debuted on television and OTT shows, the actor also wants to try his hands on theatre. “I am planning to do theatre. We are planning to do it for many years but nothing has materialized,” he added.
He concluded by saying, “Whether it is theatre, OTT or Television, we will all do it. We wouldn’t be sitting here playing safe. We are all risk takers. Without risk mazaa hi kya hai life mein (there is no fun in life, without risks).”
Produced by The Ink Factory and Banijay Asia, the series is created and directed by Sandeep Modi along with Priyanka Ghosh as the second director and premieres on Disney+ Hotstar on February 17, 2023.
