A still from India's Most Wanted
On the surface, India's Most Wanted — inspired by a real-life manhunt for India's most dreaded terrorist — seems divorced from mainstream Bollywood offerings. But leading man Arjun Kapoor says he could not pass up the chance to be part of a gritty Raj Kumar Gupta-directed film. "I have grown up watching espionage films. So, when this script came my way, I felt I have reached a stage of maturity where I can tackle a film like this," he begins.
Sold as he was on the idea of playing an intelligence officer, Kapoor admits that it wasn't easy to understand the psyche of the protagonist. "My first prerogative was to not look like a miscast. I met civil servants to understand my role better. I noticed that the way they carry themselves is different from that of a common man. They don't have a hero's demeanour. They are cold and calculated who rely on their brains more than brawn."
