My Take
Annu Kapoor strikes me as Indian cinema's consummate character man. Born in Bhopal, with a career spanning over 45 years and more than a hundred films, he is the kind of performer who deepens a story rather than dominating it. He acts, directs, sings, and even runs his own radio show, Suhaana Safar, which tells me he simply loves the craft in all its forms. A Filmfare winner who rarely chases the lead role, he embodies the versatile artisan I find irresistible. Give me a brilliant supporting player over a vacant star any day, and Kapoor is exactly that.
