Anil Kapoor will star in the animated cult TV series Family Guy
Anil Kapoor said that it was 'exciting' to be in the show
I don't think India is ready for an adult animated series: Anil Kapoor
"It was very exciting to be a part of such a cult show which interestingly had gone off air after its first few seasons starting 1999. But today, it's one of the biggest TV series in the world and actors like Brad Pitt, Liam Neeson and Mathew McConaughey have already been a part of it. So it was a lot of fun to be on the show" said Mr Kapoor in an interview to NDTV.
The last time Mr Kapoor did a cameo for a TV series in the US, he also ended up bringing it back to India for a remake. With Family Guy, Mr Kapoor has no such plans.
"I don't think India is ready for an adult animated series. I did the cameo because they wanted to spoof my character from Slumdog Millionaire. As of now, there are no plans of getting Family Guy back home" said Mr Kapoor.
The TV series which Mr Kapoor has acquired rights for is Prison Break. And while he is currently neck deep in the shooting of 24 season 2, he is soon looking to start work on the super hit American thriller from 2005 starring Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell.
"Scripts like 24 and Prison Break work well with the Indian sensibilities. So it's great to acquire these and remake them in India keeping the quality intact. I think it is another form of make in India that we have been talking about so much lately" Mr Kapoor added.
The first trailer of 24 will release in June this year and work on the Prison Break series will start as soon as 24 hits the small screen.
