Anil Kapoor to play Mumbai cop in Cities
MUMBAI: In another Hollywood project, Anil Kapoor will share screen space with Clive Owen in Roger Donaldson‘s thriller, Cities.
The film about greed and ambition on a global scale in three colliding story lines will have Kapoor playing a cop.
The first story involves a New York-based hedge fund manager (Owen) who has everything he wants – money, sex and power; the second story is about a London-based young couple who just wants to buy their first home, something that seems impossibly out of reach; and the third story will see the Mumbai cop‘s (Anil) fight against corruption between property speculators and his colleagues.
The project, set to be launched at the upcoming Cannes Film Market, will go on floors in October. It will be shot in New York, London and Mumbai.
Having shot to fame in Hollywood with Danny Boyle‘s Slumdog Millionaire, Kapoor was part of US TV series 24 and is now acting in the fourth instalment of Mission : Impossible franchise titled Mission : Impossible-Ghost Protocol.
