Ideas of India 2026: ABP Network’s Ideas of India Summit concluded with Bollywood star Anil Kapoor taking the stage. Speaking in a session titled “How to Own Your Stardom – Over Four Decades and Forever Young”. The session was moderated by Dibang and Chitra Tripathi. It began with the trailer of his upcoming film Subedaar playing at the venue. As Anil Kapoor took the stage, he spoke about the film, shared behind-the-scenes insights, and even delivered a dialogue from the film. He also addressed the growing role of artificial intelligence in cinema.
During the session, Chitra Tripathi revealed that he changed a scene from Subedaar according to his own interpretation, and even though the crew members had approved it after an hour and a half or two hours, he said he wanted to do it again.
“Subedaar has been a challenging film for me,” Anil Kapoor said. Responding to Dibang, who pointed out that he neither smiles nor laughs in the film, Kapoor explained that portraying a soldier comes with immense responsibility. He added that maintaining a soldier’s dignity is crucial, and that an army man cannot afford to be casual in his bearing.
Will AI Impact Filmmaking?
When Chitra Tripathi asked Anil Kapoor about the impact of artificial intelligence on both Bollywood and Hollywood, the actor described it as a revolution that should be embraced positively.
“It is too early to fully understand it. That is the future. AI is a revolution, and we must all approach it positively and use it positively. I’m sure it will be great not only for our country but for the entire world. It will only help. I believe that whenever there is a new revolution, innovation, or invention, it is always beneficial for the nation and for the world. AI is going to be phenomenal. You have to use it positively. You have to use it as a tool to make better films and entertain the audience.”
When asked about his close friends in Bollywood, Anil Kapoor said he has many. “I started my career in 1977… I’ve been working for 49 years. Many of them are still around, and some have passed on. I recently worked on Subedaar and made many new friends as well,” he said.
He also said that the 1993 film Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja changed him in a very positive way, adding that one often learns the most from failures.
