Gandhi,Obama inspired Anil Kapoor for ’24’ role

“I re searched all the speeches of all these great leaders — from Mahatma Gandhi,to Mandela,Martin Luther King,Obama and [Bill Clinton,” the New York Post quoted him as saying.

Kapoor said that it was ‘amazing’ working with Kiefer Sutherland.

“If I was in his place,I would have been bored and tired after working the same role for years. But it seemed every day it was the first day of the shoot for him,” he said.

The actor also revealed that he nearly turned down his ‘Slumdog’ role.

“I didn’t know who Danny Boyle was when I was approached,and it was my son who said,”Dad,you”re being a fool,” and pointed out a ”Trainspotting” poster,” he said.
