Never felt so charged up in 36 years of my career: Anil Kapoor

Mumbai: The makers of '24' are back with an action-packed season 2. The first season was truly gripping and it gave fans a reason to anticipate the next episode. This time, the team promises to make it bigger and better. 

Sporting a rugged look, Anil Kapoor seemed all geared up to bring Jay Singh Rathod to life. He gushes, "I haven't felt so motivated, charged, passionate and excited in 36 years of my career."

The team has been prepping for the show since a year and for Anil, it has been a life changing show. Anil said, "It has been a life changing show for everyone, including me. We tried to make the show as real as we could and this season, too, we would try to do the same. Last season, we met Rakesh Maria and he helped us a lot. We have taken help from officials of RAW, CBI, other intelligence agencies for the show. We see grateful that everyone has been helpful."

Last season saw interesting gamut of actors like Shabana Azmi, Anupam Kher and others. This season too we hear lot of names being speculated like Tabu, Urmila Matondkar, Prabhu Desai and others. When asked, Anil said, "We will retain some characters some will change as the story progresses. We are in talks with several actors but it is difficult to name anyone as nothing is finalised yet. Just wait and watch there will be lot of surprises." But he did admit that actress Urmila Matondkar will not view part of the second season.

Mandira, who played a vital role in season one, recently expressed her disappointment on not being a part of the second part. However Anil thinks otherwise. He said, "No no, I don't think so." Raj Nayak, however took over and said, "People from Bollywood have called me to be a part of the show. People who don't get in are upset about it. The show brings recognition. The reason of changing few characters is not because we don't want them, it depends on the storyline and accordingly you cast people."
