The evergreen and ever energetic actor Anil Kapoor recently attended a British Film Institute as a special guest.

Head Curator of the British Film Institute Robin when asked Anil about the key differences between Bollywood and Hollywood, Anil said, "There is no difference. Everybody is the same. We work in the same way... same camera. But what I feel... which I must accept is that the commitment, planning and the prep... which I can see when I work with a British team, is incredible. That's what we need to learn. We work in a chaotic way, but things are getting better now." 

About the Hindi film industry, he said, "In the 1980s and 1990s, I think we lost our way in the Indian film industry, but the younger generation with the advent of the digital format, I can see people thinking globally." 

He further said, "The world is shrinking. And I am optimistic about a lot of collaborations between the two nations."

The actor when asked about the experience he had while working with Danny Boyle, "I didn't initially know that he was Danny Boyle. My son (Harshvardhan Kapoor) told me about him. "I told my son that 'This is a script that has come to me and Danny Boyle wants to cast me.'

He said, 'Dad that's Danny Boyle'. He read the script before I could. So, later when I met Danny, I first asked for an autograph for my son. "When asked if I was doing the film, I said 'Of course I am doing the film.' He asked if I read the script. I said 'No. But my son wants me to do the film.' So that's my experience with Danny Boyle." 

Anil also spoke about his upcoming film titled Mubarakan, "I am overwhelmed with whatever I've seen the film yet and it is the first time I am playing the role of a British Asian from the Sikh community." 

He in last said, "It is a typical happy Bollywood film about an Indian family staying in England, rooted in their culture," he said about the film, directed by Anees Bazmee.
