What is the news?
Anil Kapoor, who dominated the screen by playing the Chief Minister for a day in the film ‘Nayak’, has made a big revelation after years. The actor told that after the success of the film, many political parties contacted him and invited him to enter politics. However, Anil ‘nipped in the bud’ these offers as he wanted to focus on his acting career rather than politics.
“Politics cannot be done half-heartedly.”
Indian Express Anil said, “There were definitely some discussions, but I suppressed them there (in the beginning itself). Political parties are also very intelligent. They do not give you offers directly, but send messages through someone else. They sense that the person in front is not inclined towards politics. If I were to do politics, I would have to do it with utmost honesty and truth. You cannot do it half-heartedly.”
“I also rejected the UN proposal”
Anil said, “The truth is that I did not have the capacity to give my full time and commitment to politics. Whatever I do, I want to give my 100 percent. When I was in America after the release of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, the United Nations (UN) also asked me several times to become a brand ambassador. Sometimes when you are in the news, every organization in the world wants to associate with you.”
Anil held the chair of Chief Minister for 1 day in ‘Nayak’
The story of ‘Nayak’ revolves around Shivaji Rao (Anil), a television cameraman turned anchor. The twist in the story comes when the Chief Minister of the state challenges him to hold his chair for 1 day. Using the opportunity of this one day, Shivaji Rao exposes corruption, slowness of government functioning and the hidden dark truth of politics to the public and overnight becomes a ‘hero’ in real life too.
