I have built my career on adaptations: Anil Kapoor

Punjab Junction Weekly Newspaper / 7 February 2023

Mumbai,

It’s not easy to find something exciting after spending four decades in movies, says veteran actor Anil Kapoor, who is not averse to adaptations provided the story resonates with him. The actor is returning to long format with the Indian adaptation of “The Night Manager”. He last adapted popular American show “24” for the Indian television screens.

тАЬAfter spending four decades, it becomes difficult to choose what to do next that is different from what I have done in the past. I just look at the role, the script…. (My) films like тАШWoh Saat DinтАЩ, тАШEeshwarтАЩ, тАШVirasatтАЩ, тАШJudaaiтАЩ, тАШBetaтАЩ, тАШ24тАЩ and others have been adaptations and they are all successful. I have built my career on this, тАЭ Kapoor told PTI in an interview here.

Billed as a high-octane thriller, “The Night Manager” is the Hindi adaptation of John le Carre’s novel of the same name. A British series on the novel has been made with Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, Elizabeth Debicki and Olivia Colman.
