Anil Kapoor on ‘Jugjugg Jeeyo’; 'You have to rethink, reinvent & restrategize'

Anil Kapoor is making headlines for his film ‘Jugjugg Jeeyo’. The actor insists that it was an instant yes from him the moment he read the film's script sent across by producer Karan Johar. "Karan called me and asked me to read a script. I did and said yes to the film. Raj (Mehta, director) then came over and we started working on developing my character," says Anil.

On being asked about the character if it was difficult to play someone who ranges from being an innocent lover to a selfish father? The actor replied, "That's what made the character more exciting," he answers, quick to add, "It was Raj's conviction. We worked together to make the character more likeable despite the grey shades. We attempted to make him a better person and a little more lovable as we wanted the audience to relate to him and be happy as well."

The actor has graced the industry for three decades now and has seen the industry’s highs and lows. The actor shared, "You have to reinvent, rethink and restrategize for the next 10 years. These things happen in all industries and you have to change with time. You have to adapt to the new normal, do your best and ensure that you are not surrounded by people who only listen to you. It's important to have someone who tells you when you go wrong".

On an ending note, the actor said, "I always try to surround myself with people who are more intelligent and hardworking with a vision and passion around me."
