Anil Kapoor says he is tired

Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor says he is tired of his link to Oscar winning film "Slumdog Millionaire" and wants to move on.

The 50-year-old star played game show host Prem Kumar in Danny Boyle’s 2008 movie.

In an interview to Britain’s GMTV, Anil urged his fans and friends to stop asking him about his "Slumdog..." success, reports contactmusic.com.

"It was such a long time (ago). Very nostalgic, but I want to get over it. I want to forget about it but people won’t let me forget about it. I just want to move on. Please, let’s move on. I’d been in 100, more than 100 films, (before Slumdog)," he said.

Anil Kapoor talks about his wife

Anil Kapoor is on a high as Aisha is due to release. It’s the third film under the banner of his production company and the film sees his younger daughter Rhea debuting as a producer. This is also older daughter Sonam’s first film with the company.

The proud dad says,“I’ve always found women superior to men. I am not saying that for the sake of it but I have always treated women that way. You can ask my wife considering she has been with me for the last 28 years,” he adds.

The actor has produced two films earlier but says he does not want to do it anymore. “I’m more an actor and I love acting. Rhea is more passionate about producing and in future she will produce the films we make,” he says. Interestingly, his wife Sunita has always been low profile and is not seen at many parties. Anil says she likes it that way. “She has always been camera shy. She does not want to be recognised. She likes being able to go to Dadar when she needs to buy flowers and to the market when she needs to buy vegetables or fish,” says Anil. “She enjoys being a mother more than being a celebrity. That’s what she wanted to be. The reason my kids have grown up so well is because of their mother” he admits.

He gives credit to his wife for his fitness too. Sunita is known to keep a tight leash on the diet and lifestyle of her family and that helps Anil look young. “You should have a good atmosphere at home. That’s what keeps a person happy, if you are happy then you don’t want to indulge in other things like getting drunk or smoking,” says the 51-year-old.

Having acted in the very popular series 24, he believes there is more to do. “There is so much that I am yet to do. My career internationally has just kicked off. So the world is my stage now,” he adds.

Anil was jovial best at the event

Anil Kapoor literally gatecrashed the music launch of his daughter’s forthcoming film Aisha. But before the gossip mills start running, allow us to tell you that it was just a joke!

Turns out that Anil was at his jovial best at the event. The actor began by saying that the reason why he gatecrashed was because he wasn’t invited to the event. “This is the worst day of my life. My daughters didn’t even invite me. It was my driver who informed me about the event and that’s how I gatecrashed here,” he said.

Anil’s other daughter Rhea Kapoor is producing the film that also stars Abhay Deol opposite Sonam Kapoor. Aisha is an adaptation of the classic British novel, Emma by Jane Austen and has Sonam playing the lead protagonist. Directed by Rajshree Ojha, the film has been shot in Delhi, Mumbai and Hrishikesh.

Interestingly Aisha had an all-women team, including the director herself. Anil, who feels proud of his daughters and the entire crew says, “There’s a lot of young energy that shows in the movie.”
The actor further revealed that though he was a part of the project, he couldn’t get involved as he was out of the country during the shoot. “I was busy shooting for my American series 24. But mentally and morally I supported them. The creative input was entirely theirs. I’m happy to see how they’ve grown to be independent women.
Whenever Rhea would call me while facing a problem, she would talk to me like a producer and not as a daughter. In fact after some time I was even scared to take to her calls!” he laughs.
