Anil Kapoor mulls making Nayak Returns, the sequel to 2001 hit Nayak

Seems that the success of the Aam Aadmi Party has influenced Anil Kapoor in making of Nayak Returns. The film is supposed to be a sequel of his 2001 starrer Nayak in which he played a common man Shivaji Rao Gaekwad who miraculously becomes the Chief Minister (CM) of Maharashtra for a day. Observed Kapoor in a statement, “Films aren’t called a reflection of society for nothing. Sometimes, writers catch the pulse and mood of the audience in advance. They know what people are feeling - pain, anguish at any given point.” The senior actor said that he will co-produce and act in Nayak Returns. “It won’t be a sequel. Work on the script has been on for the past year or so. I can’t reveal more right now, but politics will surely find a place in the script and the protagonist will be a crusader.” Trashing talks that he taken inspiration from Arvind Kejriwal, Kapoor added, “No, it’s only the timing of the announcement. Otherwise it’s a completely different storyline. However, it will have traces of real life. It’ll go on the floors in the beginning of 2015."
