Anil ventured into production with the 2002 film “Badhaai Ho Badhaai” and subsequently produced and co-produced numerous films such as “My Wife’s Murder”, “Short Kut: The Con is On”, ”Aisha”, “No Problem”, “Khubsoorat (2014)” and “Gandhi, My Father”, which had even won a National Award.

He is also producing the Hindi version of the popular international series, “24”, which will return with its second season later this year.

Festive offer

Anil has talked about independent cinema in the wake of “I am a Film Maker, I am Independent” campaign started by Gaurav Pandey.

“I am extremely delighted with Anil Kapoor’s comments and it is a big boost to our campaign. It is a matter of great pride that such a big name, Anil Kapoor, also supports independent filmmakers and the biggest motivation for all of us is that he is a superstar, but he, too, had to start as an independent filmmaker,” Pandey said.
