Anil Kapoor, whose career is enjoying its biggest hit [Slumdog Millionaire is approaching $160 million, with many countries including Japan, Germany and Spain awaiting the film], is quite excited over the Jane Austen project.
"I listen to young people all the time," he says with a chuckle.
It is well known by now how much his children, particularly son Harshvardhan, were responsible for making him accept Slumdog Millionaire.
"Dad often gives us the scripts that are offered to him," Sonam continues. "He is always asking for our feedback. He wants us to be the filters. He recognises our intelligence and instinct for good scripts. But he did not give us the Slumdog Millionaire immediately. I think he was quite surprised that someone called Danny Boyle had sent over the script to him and for some time, he was puzzled over it. My brother, who is a big fan of Boyle and has a huge poster of Boyle's film Trainspotting in his room, not only insisted father acted in the film but also threatened to leave the house if he did not."
