Annu Kapoor, who plays a key role in Crash Course, says he has remained a struggler despite proving his talent over 40-year run

`Crash Course`, which dropped online yesterday, is centred on eight students who aspire to get into the country’s top engineering institute. Annu Kapoor plays a shrewd businessman wanting to gain complete control of the education business in Kota. “He is conniving and wants to run every institute. I would be mad to say no to such a good script,” says the actor of the Amazon Prime Video offering.
In his 40-plus-year career in Indian showbiz, the veteran actor, 66, has done it all — from television to movies, to OTT series. His resumé is dotted with memorable films like `Tezaab` (1988), `Darr` (1993) and `Vicky Donor` (2012), as well as the ’90s game show, `Antakshari`. However, looking back at his career, Kapoor believes he did not get his due in Hindi cinema. “[Even] after 40 long years in the film industry, every role is a challenge for me. Unfortunately, I am not one of those privileged people who got success easily. I didn’t even get my share of success, neither did things come easily to me. I am thankful to those who appreciate my work. But I am a struggler, and will remain one.”
