Anil Kapoor is having a successful second run at the box-office. It is heard that he is giving a rigid competition to Amitabh Bachchan. Real Kasauti!!!There have been quite a lot of cases recently when producers decided to choose Kapoor rather than Bachchan. Anil Kapoor said that he got back to the crush judgments that infrequent films will keep him busy. Luckily, he bagged the right screenplays; best directors and everything fell into place.
There are also some rumours that Aditya Chopra discouraged Tashan director Vijay Krishna Acharya from signing Amitabh Bachchan to play a critical negative character in the film and the role eventually went to Anil Kapoor. It seems that, Bachchan’s depiction of the modern-day Gabbar in Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag was one of the reasons why he was not offered the role in Tashan movie. Aditya Chopra felt that Anil would represent the sexual band in the character more effectively than Mr Bachchan. Also, unlike Mr Bachchan, Anil isn’t overexposed. Similarly, Percept Picture Company was insistent on making Johnny Walker with Kapoor. But director Shoojit Sircar took the same script to UTV Motion Pictures as he was rooting for Bachchan in the lead role. It’s a different story that Kapoor begged out of Percept’s Johnny Walker as Bachchan has already shot for Sircar’s film, which is now titled Shoe-bite.
Director Danny Boyle also casted Anil Kapoor as the Kaun Banega Crorepati host in his film, Slumdog Millionaire, which is supposed to release in October.
He is a good and flexible actor and he has been choosing his roles very cleverly. Recently we have seen him in Welcome, Black and White, Race, Tashan and Main Yuvraj is a great and wide-ranging line-up. He is playing an outstanding role in all these films. Kapoor's biggest asset is that he still looks young and fresh and he can confidentially carry off roles alongside Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Khanna. His market value has certainly gone up recently. After bagging the role of the Kaun Banega Crorepati host in Slumdog Millionaire, he will be soon seen on television as a chatty host.
