Prolific Indian actor Anil Kapoor will star in “Subedar” for Vikram Malhotra’s Abundantia Entertainment.
The film will be directed by Suresh Triveni, who previously directed T-Series’ comedy-drama “Tumhari Sulu” (2017) and T-Series and Abundantia’s Prime Video original thriller “Jalsa” (2022), both headlined by Vidya Balan.
Kapoor also confirmed that he is on board and will play the lead in the Hindi-language adaptation of the 2019 Malayalam-language hit “Android Kunjappan Ver 5.25,” where a father-son relationship gets an endearing twist when an AI humanoid enters their lives.
Up next for Kapoor is the second part of “The Night Manager” on streamer Disney+ Hotstar, the Indian adaptation of the 2016 BBC series of the same name, based on John le Carré’s 1993 novel. The first part began streaming in February and the second part will stream from June 30. Kapoor plays arms dealer Shailendra Rungta, aka Shelly.
The actor can currently be seen in Jeremy Renner’s Disney series “Rennervations” and has made a mark in the west with “Slumdog Millionaire,” “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” and “24: India.” He is currently fielding “a lot of exciting offers” from Hollywood.
