24 is an Indian television drama series based on the American series of the same name. The Hindi language show is written by Rensil D'Silva, Bhavani Iyer & Priya Pinto, directed by Abhinay Deo and produced by Anil Kapoor Films.[1] [2][3] The show premiered on the Viacom co-owned Colors channel on 4th October 2013. The Hindi version of 24 is the first ever adaptation of the show, the India rights for which were acquired from Fox and 24 producer Howard Gordon by Anil Kapoor Films[2] Popular Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor plays the lead role (similar to Jack Bauer) in the show. Kapoor was previously featured in the 24 series playing President Omar Hassan.[4] The show is set in Mumbai (Bombay) and it is known that the main set of the Anti-Terrorist Unit (ATU) is a replica of the one in the original series.[3] Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher and actress Shabana Azmi both make cameo performances in the show.[5][6][7] Mandira Bedi plays the character named Nikita Rai which resembles Nina Myers's character from the original show.

The premiere episode will follow the exploits of heroic Anti Terrorist Unit agent Jai Singh Rathod played by Anil Kapoor. Racing against time with the clock ticking, Jai Singh Rathod, is suddenly thrust into a chaotic and exhausting 24 hour marathon, of death, deceit, terror as he struggles to prevent the assassination of prime ministerial candidate Aditya Singhania. According to Kapoor, the series, which will be "related to the Indian ethos", will follow an Anti- Terrorist Unit (ATU), similar to the Counter Terrorism (CTU) Unit in the original series.

Tisca Chopra as Trisha Rathod, Jai Singh Rathod's wife, based on the character Teri Bauer.[13][14] Shabana Azmi as Abhilasha Grewal, an officer who takes over ATU when Jai Singh Rathod goes missing.

I'll really like to see what the adaptation will be like. I'm also not comfortable with Anil Kapoor playing Jack Bauer. He doesn't have that action stuff in him. Sunny Deal would have been a great choice if he was young. |
