Anil Kapoor To Return To 90s Action Hero Roots: In Talks For New Thriller With Director Satyajeet Kadam

Even at this stage in his career, Anil Kapoor continues to pick exciting and diverse projects, from the action-packed Subedaar to a spy thriller titled Alpha. Now, it seems the veteran actor might be adding another high-octane film to his lineup, one that will take fans on a nostalgia trip back to his roles from the 1990s.

According to reports, Anil Kapoor is in advanced talks to headline a new action thriller. The film will mark the feature directorial debut of reputed ad filmmaker Satyajeet Kadam. Kapoor and Kadam have previously collaborated on a commercial, and are now looking to team up for a full-length movie.

A Throwback To 90s Heroism

The most exciting detail about the project is the character being developed for Anil Kapoor. The role is said to be inspired by the morally upright and justice-seeking heroes he famously portrayed throughout the 1980s and 1990s. For fans who grew up watching Kapoor stand up against injustice on screen, this news promises a return to a beloved character archetype.

However, the filmmakers are careful to ensure the role is not just a copy of the past. The source material indicates that while the character’s core values hark back to his earlier films, the part itself will be written to be age-appropriate for Kapoor, blending nostalgia with modern sensibilities.

Project Status And Action Style

The project is currently in the development stage. Director Satyajeet Kadam and writer Ajit Jagtap recently gave Anil Kapoor a detailed narration of the script. Sources indicate that Kapoor was very excited by the story and how his character drives the plot. He has reportedly given his own inputs and asked the team to return with a revised draft. While he has loved the initial story, he will give his final confirmation after reading the reworked script.

The film’s action style is also described as a major highlight. It will reportedly borrow elements from the “over-the-top style seen in South Indian movies.” However, the action sequences will be specifically designed keeping in mind the protagonist’s age and persona, ensuring they are both spectacular and believable.
