Anil Kapoor to build a film studio : Bollywood News

If the buzz doing the rounds of the film industry is anything to go by, then the never-say-'dye' ageless-wonder Anil Kapoor is all set to embark on another exciting adventure in his hugely eventful life.

Anil, say sources close to him, is planning to build a film studio in Mumbai.

Says a close friend of the star-actor, "It was his father Surinder Kapoor's dream to build a studio. However, it couldn't be achieved during his lifetime. But now Anil is seriously looking into the process of building his father's dream studio."

When contacted Anil Kapoor didn't deny the rumours. "Yes, I am thinking on those lines, something like what you have heard is on the anvil. I've been planning it for a very long time. But I could never get down to it."

Now that Anil's daughter Rhea is an active producer and Anil himself is heading towards producing the second season of 24, the family is professionally and financially equipped to cope with the pressures of running a studio on a day-to-day basis."

Says Anil Kapoor, "So far I've been all over the place. Now there is more stability. I am trying to build a self-sufficient infrastructure which would be functional without my constant physical presence."

Anil Kapoor would be the first actor in the Hindi film industry to invest his years of money as an actor in a film studio.
