Anil Kapoor’s ’24’ to be shown on AXN four times a week

The show,in which Anil plays Omar Hassan,president of a Middle-East country,will be telecast from Monday to Thursday,he added.

“We expect that because of Anil Kapoor’s presence,it may get more eyeballs,” Bhandari said adding that there are plans to market it better than earlier.

He also accepted that English entertainment is not a priority for Indian audiences. Still a better response is expected because of Anil Kapoor starring in ’24’,he said.

On his experience of working with the Fox Studios,Anil Kapoor said it has given him a tremendous exposure.

“While shooting for ’24’,I discovered that the Omar Hassan was a liberal man. The writers told me that he had the charisma and depth of young Gandhi or Mandela who want peace at any cost.

“Since I had produced ‘Gandhi My Father’,I had learnt a lot about Gandhi and had also met Mandlea in South Africa. So I was thrilled when I got to play Omar Hasan,” he said.
