Anil Kapoor seen on a cycle!

Boney Kapoor's Bewafaa might have bombed but there is still time before the extravagant producer hits the street. So that doesn't explain the possible reason for chota bhai Anil being seen on a cycle. Nor does Anil want to do a Salman who is seen waddling away on busy streets in body hugs & sinful shorts.
Apparently, the actor wanted to 'feel' and 'be' his character, Ravi Patwardhan, a middle class photographer who uses the modest two-wheeler to work. So what do you think the actor does, he rides a cycle to his shoot, his Mercedes following in close distance. It doesn't end here; Anil Kapoor chooses to bathe in a dingy little bathroom on studio floors instead of the luxurious bathroom of his vanity van. And if you thought that was it, wait, because there is more to come. Kapoor who is not a smoker in the least was seen puffing a few packs because his character Ravi smokes in a tense situation.
Anil Kapoor himself is very excited about having worked on this project, “It is my best performance till date. I have always wanted t work with Ramu but somehow things never worked out. And I am only too glad that is has, this time a round” the actor tells us, sitting at his Sridevi Productions office. Cynics are fast to dub this as an Aamir Khan hangover, “It's none of those things. I was among the first to create different looks for my characters, will you call that a Hrithik spillover?” he volleys back.
“I did the stuff that I did because I wanted to get into the skin of the character. Maybe some actors don't need to do that, but that is not the case with me. I think these little detailing reflects in your performance” he points out. The audiences may not even notice that, we chide him. “No, that's where we go wrong. We think people don't notice, but they do. And anyways, even if they didn't, I would still want to do all of this. I am a stickler for nuances” he declares.
Aamir grows a mouche for Rising, Hrithik looses weight for Koi Mil Gaya, Anil cycles to work, showbiz is getting to be serious bizness, huh!
