Anil Kapoor is set to make his American television debut in 24 as it returns for its 8th season with agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) keeping America safe.

Kapoor is playing a Middle Eastern President Omar Hassan, although the specific nationality of the peace-keeping leader has not been disclosed because producers were vary of getting into “tricky territory.”

AK must have dazzled the cast, crew and execs of the show because his contract has been extended from 10 episodes to 16! It’s great to see that Slumdog Millionaire has really allowed him to venture into different mediums after his waning film career in Mumbai.

Check out the short promo of this Sunday’s 2 hour season premiere and a short interview with AK gushing about the role.

Farah Khan choreographed the circus-themed lingerie fashion shor for Triumph where many celebrities turned up to support the brand and obviously her! This is the 2nd year that she did the show and its amazing considering that she still choregraphs for films, is working on her own films (scripting/directing) and is handling her three triplets! Whew!

Director Karan Johar, actors Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, Chunky Pandey, Raveena Tandon, Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, director (and Farah’s husband) Shirish Kunder, tennis star Sania Mirza and the MD of Triumph India Thorsten Allenstein were all in attendance of the show.

Interestingly enough, many media outlets were surprised that Farah’s BFF SRK was missing. We are sure he was there in spirit!!

The fourth annual Apsara Film and Television Producers Guild Awards took plane at the Grand Hyatt to honour excellence in cinema and television.

Among the recepients were Kangana Ranaut, Anil Kapoor, Mugdha Godse, Priyanka Chopra and Imraan Khan.

Congrats!
