ANIL KAPOOR
A tete-a-tete with the star.

Tell us about Nayak?k
Nayak is a film about a young man from a lower middle-class family, very much like the way I was when I started my career. I am very honest and sincere and that is the reason why I have a very high credibility as a journalist in the film. The character is very responsible and discharges his duties well when he investigates his stories progressively on television. He is a TV journalist and during one of his interviews on TV with the chief minister, a confrontation takes place and he is given the opportunity of being a chief minister for one day. And when he gets such a chance, he takes good advantage of it and does a lot of good. He does not misuse that power at all.

Have you seen the Tamil version of this film Mudhalvan?
I have, but language has been a barrier. But you see the visuals of the film and they tell you all.

Like the mud fight sequence which was shot with 33 cameras…?
Yes. That is a very spectacular action sequence. It is one of the highlights of the film. The scene is a technically brilliant one. You have to see it on screen to enjoy it. I cannot explain it to you.
