A Career-Defining Role
Reflecting on the digital return of the show, Anil Kapoor expressed his deep personal connection to the project. “I’ve played many intense and action-driven roles over the years, but 24 was never just another show for me; it was an adrenaline rush like no other,” Kapoor stated. “The pace, the pressure, and the real-time storytelling pushed me to stay constantly on edge.”
