Anil Kapoor, the most energetic and evergreen actor of Hindi cinema, is once again going to return in his memorable avatar, which ruled the hearts of every Indian child and youth in the eighties. ‘Arun Verma’, the simple-minded man wearing a cap and having the power to disappear, from the cult classic film ‘Mr. India’ released in 1987 is still fresh in the memories of the audience. Now Anil Kapoor is going to revive the same iconic ‘Mr. India’ look on the stage of the small screen’s most talked about new reality show ‘India Ke Top 1%’. The promos of the show and the glimpses from the sets have created a stir on social media and fans are lost in the memories of bygone times.
Whenever Anil Kapoor comes on any stage, he steals the show with his immense energy and style, but this time his style is completely special and emotional. On the sets of the new reality show, the actor was seen in the exact same costume which he wore in ‘Mr. India’ almost four decades ago. The same familiar brown fedora hat, loose-fitting khaki jacket and the same magic watch with red light on his wrist. Everyone present on the set was stunned to see the same old smile and agility of Anil Kapoor even at the age of 60. The makers of the show say that this look is not just a show, but a special surprise element deeply linked to the format and theme of the show.
‘India’s Top 1%’ is going to be the first of its kind unique reality show in the country, which will bring to the fore the talent, struggle and success of extraordinary people from different walks of life who have become the top 1% of the country through their hard work. It includes grassroots innovators, young entrepreneurs, masters of unique arts and real-life superheroes who are changing society. Since the story of ‘Mr. India’ was also about a common man becoming special and standing as a shield for the weaker children of the society, the makers of the show decided to present this character of Anil Kapoor as the inspirational face of the show. Anil Kapoor will be seen in this show not only as a host but also in the role of the main facilitator who guides and encourages the participants.
As soon as the famous theme music of ‘Mr. India’ played in the background on the set and Anil Kapoor stepped on the stage, the entire studio echoed with thunderous applause. Anil Kapoor himself looked very emotional during this special moment. Recalling the days of shooting of the film, he remembered the vision of late director Shekhar Kapur, the immortal character of great actor Amrish Puri in ‘Mogambo’ and the innocent acting of late actress Sridevi. Anil Kapoor said that Mr. India was not an ordinary film, but a piece of his heart which made him ‘Apna Arun Bhaiya’ of common people across the country. Wearing this look again after so many years was an experience like time travel for her.
As soon as the pictures and teaser clips of Anil Kapoor’s look went viral on the internet, cinema lovers gave a flurry of reactions. While the new generation seems to be impressed by Anil Kapoor’s never-ending fitness and style, the old audience has once again started demanding ‘Mr. India 2’. Netizens say that if any real superhero should be reborn in Indian cinema, then it is only ‘Mr. India’. This entry of Anil Kapoor in the reality show ‘India’s Top 1%’ not only has the potential to take the show to new heights of TRP, but also proves that some characters never grow old and their magic remains alive across generations.
