A still from the serial 24
New Delhi:
If all goes as planned, gripping and thrilling TV drama 24, starring Anil Kapoor, which recently came to an end, will be released in a DVD version packed with all of its 24 episodes.
A source said, "We are exploring the idea (of coming up with a DVD version of the show). It's still work in progress stage, but not confirmed."
An espionage thriller, 24 was the Indian adaptation of the eponymous American TV series, which starred Keifer Sutherland as Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer.
Anil Kapoor, who had played a part in the eighth season of the international version, took on Sutherland's role in the desi version and essayed the role of the chief of an anti-terrorist unit, Jai Singh Rathod.
The jhakkaas actor even produced the show, which aired on Colors and was directed by Abhinay Deo.
It was seen as a path-breaking offering, which brought some of the most talented names in Indian showbiz - Anupam Kher, Shabana Azmi, Rahul Khanna, Mandira Bedi, Anita Raj, Tisca Chopra and more, on the tube.
The show captured 24 hours of Rathod's life, where he struggles to prevent the assassination of a prime ministerial candidate and also saves his daughter and wife, who have been kidnapped by terrorists.
It was differently shot and aired only twice a week. Yet, the curiosity levels hardly died down. Besides that, the performances, especially by Anil, Mandira, and actor Neil Bhoopalam, who played the prime ministerial candidate, were superlative.
Anita Raj, who was seen in front of the camera after a long time, impressed the audiences as a high profile politician.
Meanwhile, the DVD version will be a great thirst quencher for those who missed any episode or even the entire season of a show.
