WATCH: Anil Kapoor's Candid Confession

'I don’t think I have any fan in the house.'

The launch event of Subedaar unfolded as a double celebration for leading man, Anil Kapoor.

A walk into the venue felt like a stroll down memory lane, lined with posters of some of his iconic characters from Ram Lakhan, Mr India, Virasat, 1942: A Love Story, Nayak: The Real Hero, Tezaab and Lamhe, tracing his remarkable four-decade journey in Indian cinema.

What started as a trailer launch soon became a tribute to the star.

Frenzied fans, gathered outside the open-air venue, cheered loudly the moment they caught a glimpse of the star.

AK smiled and waved at them, while the host summed it up perfectly: "That's true stardom. You can't create it, you can only earn it."

Talking about his journey, Anil said he feels "incredibly blessed" to receive so much love from the audience, adding that it pushes him to keep working harder.

In a fun moment, Anil Kapoor joked about his family, saying his wife Sunita Kapoor prefers to stay away from his work and often seems happily uninterested in all the film talk.

"I don't think I have any fan in the house, I don't think even a little bit of fan element on my work in my house," Anil's candid confession left the room smiling.

"Just now, when I was leaving home, I went to my wife's room to say bye, and she was like, 'Where are you going?' I don't think she knows what is happening in my life, she doesn't have anything to do with my profession. I said, 'It's my movie trailer launch today', and she was like, 'Where? Which film?' So that's the kind of family I belong to," he added.

In Subedaar, Anil plays Subedaar Arjun Maurya, a former army officer striving to build a peaceful life after years of service. But peace, as the trailer suggests, is short-lived.

Directed by Tumhari Sulu and Daldal fame Suresh Triveni, the film positions itself as a gritty, high-stakes action drama, layered with an emotional father-daughter story at its core.

Radhikka Madan plays Shyama, Anil Kapoor's daughter, whose life is thrown into turmoil when the conflict escalates after Arjun crosses paths with a formidable local gangster, portrayed by Mona Singh.

With Subedaar, Mona continues her streak of bold and unconventional choices with a villainous turn as Babli Didi, a character she calls "unapologetically flawed".

Anil said Subedaar is a "very special" film for him and this role is one of the "most challenging roles" of his career.

"I've done it as usual with all my heart and soul. I've worked hard on my part and I've worked with all my heart. As I always do," Anil shares, reflecting his dedication to every character he inhabits.

Kushboo Sundar, who plays Anil's wife in Subedaar, vouches for his total commitment to every role, calling him a constant source of inspiration on set.

She shared heartfelt memories of reuniting with Anil Kapoor decades after their first collaboration Meri Jung.
