Anil
Kapoor,
as
is
evident
from
the
movies
and
diverse
roles
that
he
has
been
doing,
is
only
getting
more
experimental
and
bold
with
the
kind
of
roles
he
is
choosing.
In
his
latest
movie,
Total
Dhamaal,
which
released
yesterday,
he
was
seen
giving
the
audiences
many
laughs,
but
before
that,
his
movie
Ek
Ladki
Ko
Dekha
Toh
Aisa
Laga
broached
a
very
important
subject
that
our
society
tends
to
avoid
discussing.
The
movie
depicts
a
homosexual
girl,
played
by
Sonam
Kapoor,
who
has
to
manage
her
traditional
family's
expectations
while
still
trying
to
be
true
to
herself.
In
an
interview
with
Pinkvilla,
Anil
Kapoor
spoke
about
how
he
is
pushing
his
own
boundaries
with
the
kind
of
movies
and
roles
he
has
been
picking.
Anil
Kapoor's
Kids
Push
Him
To
Make
Bold
Choices
Ek
Ladki
Ko
Dekha
Toh
Aisa
Laga
was
the
first
mainstream
Hindi
film
to
feature
lesbian
relationship.
About
being
part
of
such
a
ground
breaking
film,
Anil
Kapoor
said,
"I
am
very
proud
of
Sonam
[Kapoor].
When
she
said
yes
to
the
film
[Ek
Ladki
Ko
Dekha
Toh
Aisa
Laga],
it
was
a
big
thing.
It
was
an
eye
opener
for
me
also.
Similarly,
Harshvardhan
Kapoor
asked
me
to
do
Slumdog
Millionaire.
So,
it
is
my
kids
who
are
pushing
me
to
be
a
part
of
such
brave
movies."
If
He
Would
Ever
Choose
To
Play
A
Homosexual
He
continued
and
said
that
he
would
be
completely
open
to
playing
a
homosexual
character
if
he
ever
got
the
chance.
"The
surrounding
and
support
system
is
very
important.
Otherwise,
even
I
would
have
been
doing
the
same
thing.
If
I
don't
make
such
choices
and
don't
do
something
fresh,
it
doesn't
excite
me.
My
kids
are
understand
and
support
me.
There
is
a
kind
of
debate
and
discussion
at
home
which
is
way
forward.
There
are
so
many
people
who
are
in
closet
because
people
consider
it
abnormal
when
it
is
the
most
normal
thing.
100%
I
would
like
to
do
it."
His
Wife
Sunita's
Role
In
Helping
Him
Pick
Movies
When
asked
what
role
his
wife
Sunita
Kapoor
plays
in
helping
him
select
the
movies
he
does,
he
said,
"She
gets
to
know
about
me
signing
a
film
from
others;
on
and
off
she
comes
to
know,
but
she
is
not
too
much
into
films
and
that
is
perhaps
one
of
the
reasons.
We
discuss
films
but
that
is
not
the
main
thing.
Whose
wife
does
that?
For
them,
it
is
their
daughters
and
son
who
are
doing
great
work,
and
now,
my
son-in-law
is
amazing
as
well.
So,
everyone
else
is
amazing
but
me.
I
am
taken
for
granted.
That's
why
I
praise
myself
at
home
since
no
one
does."
On
Taking
Risks
With
Roles
And
Movies
"Nowadays,
a
lot
of
films
are
being
made
on
patriotism,
social
issues,
while
earlier,
only
a
few
movies
were
made
on
those
issues.
People
are
accepting
and
liking
it.
There
is
a
commercial
budget
to
it
as
well.
Earlier,
it
was
too
much
of
a
risk
to
make
those
movies
and
hats
off
to
those
who
did
it,
whereas
today,
one
can
balance
it
out
via
digital,
theatrical
business.
You
structure
the
films
correctly
today
and
'live
happily
ever
after'."
