MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor feels Anupam Kher-starrer Silver Linings Playbook is the front-runner for an Oscar nomination.
“He [Anupam Kher] has been the kind of actor who has been an integral part of so many films, like Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Ram Lakhan, Beta, Saaransh and Daddy. Then Bend It Like Beckham and now, Silver Linings Playbook, which I am confidently saying is the frontrunner for nomination in the Oscar,” the 52-year-old said at the Mumbai Film Festival Thursday evening.
The actor himself was part of the Oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire.
The 14th Mumbai Film Festival opened with Silver Linings Playbook. Directed by David O Russell, the film shows Anupam as an Indian doctor. The cast includes big names of Hollywood such as Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert DeNiro and Chris Tucker.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Film Festival has joined hands with AA Khan, a former additional police commissioner of Mumbai who once headed the Maharashtra ATS (Anti-Terrorism Squad), to fight against film piracy.
Anil said he too is trying to fight piracy in his own way and added: “Even I am, to a certain extent, trying to do whatever I can in my own capacity, because I am bringing ‘24’ [a TV show] to India; so obviously we have to try to protect the content as much as possible.”
“We are trying our best. There is technology in India…by the time it becomes digital, it will be much easier to curb and control piracy,” he added.
Anil played an Islamic leader Omar Hassan in the eighth episode of the TV show “24”, an American political thriller. | | See Also in Showbiz News
