Anil Kapoor left Anthony Hopkins surprised as he touched his feet after Slumdog Millionaire win: ‘He said what are you doing?’

Even though it has been a decade and a half since Anil’s appearance in Slumdog Millionaire, he still gets recognised internationally for his work in the film and the actor said that he is “really surprised” by that. “I get really surprised sometimes at the kind of people who still know me, still remember me, and want to work with me. It’s still continuing,” he said. Anil shared that international projects are still written with him in mind and he believes himself to be quite “fortunate” as people still remember his work. “They say, ‘I’ve written the role with you in mind.’ I get a shock. ‘Slumdog’ released 14 years back. And ‘Mission: Impossible’ and ’24,’ it’s been so many years, but there are certain filmmakers and casting directors who still remember me. I’m very fortunate,” he said.

Anil recalled the time when he was a “recognisable face almost all over the planet” and said that if he was younger, he would “have really taken more advantage of it.” “But I took a decision that OK, fine, if it happens, if I find something more exciting, I’ll do it. Otherwise, I’m very content, happy being in my own country and being with my family,” he said.

Anil was recently seen in Siddharth Anand’s Fighter and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal.
