Love for my work keeps me going: Anil Kapoor

Mr India Anil Kapoor at 50 is possibly one of the actor who has film offers pouring in almost every day He sees no competition from younger stars and feels it is an injustice to compare him with Big B Dont compare me with Amitabh Bachchan please He is a once in a lifetime legend that Btown has got and it would be an injustice to put me on the same pedestal I am really not trying to be modest But its just the love for my work that keeps me going Anil said in an interview u00a0Most of Anils contemporaries like Sanjay Dutt Jackie Shroff Govinda and Sunny Deol are of course seen on the big screen But Anils consistency in his overthreedecade career has remained unmatched and the others have not managed to step into the Hollywood space like him I love acting Money has never excited me to a certain extent I have been lucky The gods have been smiling on me Its not just hardwork dedication or box office success its a combination of all these that has contributed to my success Im fortunate that Im still around he said The actorproducer who has became popular across the shores after Danny Boyles Oscar winning film Slumdog Millionaire where he played a game show host and the American TV series 24 says he is lucky he has never been out of work since his debut in 1979 with a bit role in Hamare Tumhare Over the last 30 years there never has been a single year when I didnt have job opportunities I have always decided what I want to do The choice of films has always been mine I pray to god that this remains all my life that I work so hard that only I decide when to hang my boots rather than people telling me We have had enough of you said Anil And why not Except for a bit of his receding hairline the actor looks as young and dashing as ever Dressed in a shirt and greycoloured waistcoat and a spiked hairdo he looks extremely fit He is awaiting the release of his home production Aisha the production hassles of which have been taken care of by his younger daughter Rhea while elder daughter Sonam plays a title role in it The film is really by the young for the young I am very happy the way it has shaped up All credit to the young team said Anil He was here to promote Aisha at the Pearls Infrastructure Delhi Couture Week Anils earlier production ventures Badhai Ho Badhai My Wifes Murder Gandhi My Father and ShortkutThe Con Is On didnt manage much success at the box office but he is quite confident that Rheas efforts will pay off when Aisha releases Aug 6 He is planning to let Rhea take over the mantle of producing films under his banner Anil Kapoor Film Company Now I feel I can seriously think of producing films regularly because I have a great support system in the form of Rhea I am geared to do one or two films a year as a producer he said Handing over production tensions to Rhea would also mean more time for him to act So whats in the pipeline now u00a0If I had my way I wont do films at all But whenever I feel my bank balance is dwindling a bit I do one film If I want to help someone or I need money to bail out someone my wife says do one film he said in a jocular tone His hands are full with sequels right now I am doing No Problem it is a fun film with Anees Bazmee Then I am doing Race 2 No Entry 2 and probably Mr India 2 all sequelsAnd international projects Im in talks with Sophia Lorens son and hopefully there are things working out with Ben Stiller also and Fox Television But these are all in the pipeline Once they are completely materialised then I would love to talk about it But really my whole life has changed after Slumdog Millionaire u00a0
