Anil Kapoor acquires 'Prison Break' rights; moots Indian version

PrisonBreak

NEW DELHIi: Versatile actor Anil Kapoor, who is currently busy finishing the second series of his television series 24, has acquired the rights of another American TV series Prison Break.

The actor, who had earlier taken the rights of Modern Family, said he normally went with a gut feeling that Indians would love a story when he acquires it to adapt it to Indian situation.

Prison Break, of which the fifth season is about to commence, revolves around two brothers. One has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit while the other devises an elaborate plan to help him escape and clear his name. The actor said he had only acquired the rights of the first season.

In a statement, Kapoor said: “The show is about sibling love. It has just the right amount of emotions and of course some mind blowing action. In the past, films like Do Aankhen Barah Haath and Umar Qaid, which revolved around jailbreak, have been appreciated by the audience.”

The actor-producer is not yet sure whether he will be on the show himself as he says he is concentrating on the second season of 24 which had been telecast on Colors in the first season.
