Anil, who made a cameo appearance in the original series as the head of a fictitious Islamic nation, said he is involved in every bit of the show's production.
"I am totally involved with the team which is putting together '24'. Right from it's planning to its pre-production, I have totally immersed myself into it. In any case I am a producer's son; being involved comes naturally to me.
"Even in my earlier years when I was acting for my home productions like 'Mr India', 'Haamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai', 'Loafer' or 'Judaai', I was always in the know-how of what was happening on the ground. I haven't let go off that trait," Anil told PTI. The 52-year-old will next be seen in Ekta Kapoor's production "Shootout At Wadala", directed by Sanjay Gupta.
