Glance through Anil Kapoor’s upcoming movies, and you’ll notice he is relishing exploring different genres at this stage. An actioner like Subedaar shares space in his filmography with the spy thriller Alpha, and a yet-untitled business drama with Hansal Mehta. What’s next for the senior actor? From what we’ve heard, a stylised action film to be directed by Satyajeet Kadam. The reputed ad filmmaker is set to make his Bollywood debut, and for his maiden feature film, he has approached Kapoor, with whom he previously collaborated on a commercial for a leading diagnostic centre.

The action thriller has screenplay and dialogues by Ajit Jagtap, who co-wrote the dialogues for Kajol’s Maa. A source shares, “Satyajeet and Ajit recently gave Anil a narration. The senior actor was excited by the story and how his character drives the plot. He has given his share of inputs and requested them to come back with a revised draft. Though the actor has loved the story, he will give his nod after he reads the reworked draft.”
