Anil Kapoor: Sequel to Nayak a good idea

Rani Mukerji and Anil Kapoor in Nayak: The Real Hero

Anil Kapoor hopes a sequel to his 2001 film, Nayak: The Real Hero, is made. Asked which film of his deserves a reboot on the sidelines of the T20 Dhamaal shoot, he quipped, "I think a sequel to Nayak would be a good idea. It will make for an engaging film."

A political action thriller, "Nayak: The Real Hero" is a remake of S. Shankar's successful Tamil film "Mudhalvan". The 2001 film narrated the story of how a common man fights against the corrupt system, and how his life changes after he becomes a chief minster for a day. It features Rani Mukerji and the late Amrish Puri.

What's the most exciting aspect of being in the industry at the moment?

"The new wave of ideas and content. The unexplored territories and new challenges," Anil said.

The actor is looking forward to the release of "Total Dhamaal". It is the third instalment of the successful franchise "Dhamaal", which originally starred Arshad Warsi, Javed Jaffrey and Riteish Deshmukh alongside Sanjay Dutt.

It also stars Madhuri Dixit Nene, Ajay Devgn and Boman Irani. Co-produced by Fox Star Studios, Ajay Devgn Ffilms, Ashok Thakeria, Kumar, Sri Adhikari Brothers, Anand Pandit, Sangeeta Ahir and Kumar Mangat Pathak, the film is slated to release on February 22.
