The action-packed trailer of 24: Season 2, starring actor-producer Anil Kapoor was unveiled on Wednesday in the presence of his star daughter Sonam Kapoor and superstar Aamir Khan. Anil is all set to return as Anti-Terrorism Squad agent Jai Singh Rathore in the espionage thriller, which will be aired on Colors from July 17 onwards.
Dressed in a black-and-white formal wear, which matched with his daughter’s outfit, Anil said: “It took us a while to get the second season of the show. I work in films also. So, it’s tough for me. I had to complete Dil Dhadakne Do and Welcome Back. We needed a lot of preparation as well.”
Anil Kapoor’s friend Aamir is also looking forward to the show.
“The show has been praised by so many people. I’m sure the second season will go beyond that. I like the energy of Anil. It is unique. He also has childlike curiosity. I love that about him,” Aamir said.
After watching the trailer, Aamir looked amazed and compared the TV show to a film.
“It’s like watching a movie. It’s wonderful to see this quality of work happening on television,” he shared.
Asked if Aamir would play a role in the upcoming show, Anil said: “I would love him to be part of the show. I know even if we approach him for it, he won’t say no. But the show isn’t star-driven. Be it Shabana Azmi or Anupam Kher, we all played characters.”
Anil also added that Aamir inspires him. Like Aamir, Anil also completely focused on his TV show.
“When Aamir did Satyamev Jayate, he didn’t take up any other project. I also haven’t done anything else for last one year. I completely focussed on 24. I got an exciting international project. I was expected to shoot in July, but I had to pass that offer,” said the actor, who has featured in Hollywood projects including Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.
“It’s not about money. We are doing it because we love 24,” he added.
