Anil Kapoor gears up for season 2 of 24 on Colors; Rishi Kapoor and Jeetendra likely to join the cast

The game-changing serial 24 is all set to go into Season 2 on Colors. Yup, it’s time for Anil Kapoor to don the producer’s hat once again, even if it is to be done at the cost of his film offers. Apparently Anil has 6 major film offers this year. But he is tempted to again give priority to 24. Confirming his full-throttle plans for Season 2 of 24 Anil says, “My entire team is into pre-production. Only my own dates need to be worked out. I am in a bit of a fix.” Last year Anil said no to all movie offers to focus on 24. This year the movie offers have piled up. But Anil is in the mood for Season 2 of 24. Confesses the director, “There’s quite a number of tempting film offers. But I haven’t said yes to them as yet. I need to work out my dates for Season 2 of 24. That’s a commitment I’ve made to myself. As a movie actor I’ve seen and done it all. Television is a new medium for me. And it’s very exciting.” So would Anil end up doing no films in 2014? “I am already doing Anees Bazmi’s Welcome Back. So I’ve a major film coming up this year. As for more movies, they would depend on how much time Season 2 of 24 would need. You see, the first season was tougher, what with the entire machinery and logistics of television being new to me. A lot of the production hassles would be automatically lessened this time,” reveals Anil excitedly. The one thing that one is most certainly going to see in Season 2 of 24 is the core cast of Anil Kapoor, Tisca Chopra and Mandira Bedi. Rishi Kapoor and Jeetendra are likely to join the cast. “Let’s see how it goes. I am even more excited about Season 2,” reveals Anil who took a few days off this week to attend his brother Sanjay Kapoor’s brother-in-law’s wedding.
