India’s biggest export to Hollywood ( Slumdog Millionaire, 24 and now Mission Impossible 4 ), Anil Kapoor is becoming quite the jetsetter in tinsel town. His role in the Tom Cruise starrer has been fleshed out, thus requiring more time.
This has slowed down the schedule of Ratan Jain’s Tez (earlier titled Bullet Train ) and left producer Firoz Nadiadwala of Power quite powerless, as Anil Kapoor has had to prioritise his dates. But neither Jain nor Nadiadwala is complaining. Vicarious glamour has currency in Bollywood.
Says a source, “After Slumdog Millionaire , Hollywood offers have been pouring in for Anil Kapoor. Mission Impossible 4 ’s makers contacted Anil’s agent. Anil loved his role and said ‘yes’. Though the details of Anil’s role are yet unclear, buzz is that he will play the chief villain in the film.”
Mission Impossible 4 stars Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Anil Kapoor, Paula Patton, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg. The film is scheduled to hit the screens on December 16, 2011.
Ratan Jain claimed that Anil’s winter schedule had not perturbed him; Nadiadwala did confirm that he has agreed to Anil’s request to readjust his dates. Nadiadwala is trying to work around Anil’s combo scenes with other actors to minimise inconvenience. Said Nadiadwala, “Anil being in Mission Impossible 4 is a proud moment not just for Anil but all of India.”
We tend to agree. Here is a thespian with remarkable talent. Tom might be the lead in MI4, but we know who our hero is. Jai ho!
