Anil Kapoor shared screen space with his son Harshvarrdhan Kapoor in the Netflix film Thar. The action-crime film also starred Fatima Sana Shaikh and Satish Kaushik in pivotal roles. The story of Thar centres on an urban dweller who relocates to a remote town to conduct some exploration, but there is more to this man than first appears.
Animal
Helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Anil Kapoor is gearing up for his role in Animal. The film will also see Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles. The gangster drama will explore the turbulent interactions between all the players, which finally leads to the protagonist assuming animal traits. The film is currently in its production stage and is expected to release in August, 2023.
Fighter
It was last year when Anil Kapoor joined the cast of filmmaker Siddharth Anand’s highly-anticipated film Fighter. The film, Fighter, will be the first collaboration between Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor. It is also touted as the country’s first-ever aerial action drama. The movie is reported to release in January 2024.

It’s been a long time since the Abhinav Bindra biopic was announced. Based on the true story of Abhinav Bindra, a retired professional shooter and former World and Olympic champion in the 10-metre Air Rifle event. However, it’s been five years, and the film is still in the works. In fact, there was a rumour that the film had been shelved, which Anil Kapoor, who is involved with the project, denied.
