Gandhi, Obama inspired Anil Kapoor for '24' role

New York, Mon, 18 Jan 2010 ANI

New York, Jan 18 (ANI): Bollywood film star Anil Kapoor has revealed that he took inspiration from leaders such as Gandhi and Barack Obama for his role in '24'.

 

The 'Slumdog Millionaire' star, who plays a Middle Eastern leader in the new season of the show, said that he wanted to base his part on real world leaders.

 

"I re searched all the speeches of all these great leaders -- from Mahatma Gandhi, to Mandela, Martin Lu ther King, Obama and [Bill] Clinton," the New York Post quoted him as saying.

 

Kapoor said that it was 'amazing' working with Kiefer Sutherland.

 

"If I was in his place, I would have been bored and tired after working the same role for years. But it seemed every day it was the first day of the shoot for him," he said.

 

The actor also revealed that he nearly turned down his 'Slumdog' role.

 

"I didn't know who Danny Boyle was when I was approached, and it was my son who said, 'Dad, you're being a fool,' and pointed out a 'Trainspotting' poster," he said. (ANI)
