If
all
goes
as
planned,
Anil
Kapoor-starrer
gripping
and
thrilling
TV
drama
"24",
which
recently
came
to
an
end,
will
be
released
in
a
DVD
version
packed
with
all
of
its
24
episodes.
A
well-placed
source
told
IANS:
"We
are
exploring
the
idea
(of
coming
up
with
a
DVD
version
of
the
show.
It's
still
work
in
progress
stage,
but
not
confirmed."
An
espionage
thriller,
"24" was
the
Indian
adaptation
of
the
eponymous
American
TV
series,
which
starred
Keifer
Sutherland
as
Counter
Terrorist
Unit
agent
Jack
Bauer.
Anil,
who
had
played
a
part
in
the
eighth
season
of
the
international
version,
took
on
Sutherland's
role
in
the
desi
version
and
essayed
the
role
of
the
chief
of
an
anti-terrorist
unit,
Jai
Singh
Rathod.
The
'jhakaas'
actor
even
produced
the
show,
which
aired
on
Colors
and
was
directed
by
Abhinay
Deo.
It
was
seen
as
a
path-breaking
offering,
which
brought
some
of
the
most
talented
names
in
Indian
showbiz
-
Anupam
Kher,
Shabana
Azmi,
Rahul
Khanna,
Mandira
Bedi,
Anita
Raj,
Tisca
Chopra
and
more,
on
the
tube.
The
show
captured
24
hours
of
Rathod's
life
where
he
struggles
to
prevent
the
assassination
of
a
prime
ministerial
candidate
and
also
save
his
daughter
and
wife
who
have
been
kidnapped
by
terrorists.
It
was
differently
shot,
and
aired
only
twice
a
week.
Yet,
the
curiosity
levels
hardly
died
down.
Besides
that,
the
performances,
especially
by
Anil,
Mandira,
and
actor
Neil
Bhoopalam,
who
played
the
prime
ministerial
candidate,
were
superlative.
Anita
Raj,
who
was
seen
in
front
of
the
camera
after
a
long
time,
impressed
as
a
high
profile
politician.
The
team
is
also
preparing
to
come
up
with
the
second
season.
Meanwhile,
the
DVD
version
will
be
a
great
thirst
quencher
for
those
who
missed
any
episode
or
even
the
entire
season
of
a
show,
which
kept
several
viewers
hooked
during
its
run.
