Bollywood
actor-producer
Anil
Kapoor,
who
is
making
his
debut
on
the
small
screen
with
a
fictional
show,
says
he
believes
in
taking
risks.
The
53-year-old
actor
will
be
seen
in
his
television
production
'24',
a
suspense
drama
show
based
on
the
American
series
of
the
same
name.
"I
have
tried
to
do
out
of
the
box
things
which
are
risky,
which
have
a
possibility
of
failing
miserably.
But
I
enjoy
it
when
people
make
fun
of
me...
as
it
helps
me
work
even
harder," Kapoor
said
in
an
interview
here.
"TV
has
got
the
biggest
reach.
I
don't
know
how
many
years
it
is
going
to
last.
Now
even
internet
is
catching
up.
We
have
to
pull
up
our
socks
as
everything
is
going
to
be
watched
on
internet,"
he
said.
Even
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
is
coming
on
TV
with
a
fiction
show
and
Kapoor
is
quite
happy
about
it.
"His
coming
on
a
show
makes
my
stand
of
being
in
this
show
('24')
even
stronger,"
Kapoor
said.
It
was
the
format
of
the
show
that
drew
Kapoor
to
make
it
in
India.
"When
I
was
in
US
doing
'24' over
there,
I
had
made
up
my
mind
to
bring
this
iconic
show
to
India.
I
felt
this
show
is
relevant
in
our
country
today.
We
wrote
an
email
and
negotiated
with
the
concerned
officials.
I
am
glad
it
happened,"
Kapoor
said.
The
actor
is
thankful
to
Colors
channel
for
partnering
with
him
in
taking
this
programme
to
the
masses.
For
the
Indian
version
of
the
show,
Anil
said
that
the
challenge
was
to
get
the
same
kind
of
aesthetics,
scale
and
performance.
"Those
shows
are
made
at
a
cost
of
four
to
six
billion
dollar
per
episode.
We
are
not
going
to
spend
that
much
amount
of
money.
But
we
had
to
raise
the
bar
and
make
the
show
as
effective
as
the
original
with
lesser
time
and
money.
The
entire
team
has
put
in
a
lot
of
passion
and
hard
work.
We
have
put
our
best
foot
forward
which
we
hope
will
be
loved
by
the
people,"
he
said.
