Anil Kapoor Takes 24 to India. The actor, who has appeared in the American version of the show, now plans to take the show to India. In an interview with EW, he said “When I was shooting the 4th or 5th episode of 24, I started reading the material everyday [and] something just clicked in my mind.

I think [scripted programming in India] is not where it should be.” [EW]
