My Take
What I like about Kunal Kapoor is the order in which he built his career. He entered Hindi cinema as an assistant director, learning the machinery of filmmaking from the inside, before stepping in front of the camera in the 2004 film Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities. Actors with that backstage education tend to make smarter choices, and his later moves into writing and producing confirm he never intended to coast on leading-man looks. He strikes me as a craftsman in an industry that often rewards spectacle, and that patience is exactly why I expect his filmography to age well.
