Fans and critics not happy with Anil Kapoor’s role in Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol

Anil Kapoor is considered as one of the biggest Bollywood stars and also as one of the most recognised Indian actors in the world but this time he has failed to impress his fans with his role in the much-hyped
Tom Cruise big-ticket franchise, Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol.

Kapoor, whose previous Hollywood project was in the Oscar-winning film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ as a calculating quizmaster, played role of a womaniser in MI-4 and his fans and critics are absolutely unhappy
with it, as they believe Hollywood has made their idol look like a clown.

Though one of the film critics, Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN, reckons it was a good move on Kapoor’s part to accept the role, the fans don’t agree with him.

“Anil Kapoor is one of the few Indian actors who deserves the success he has earned over years of commitment to his craft. It may be only a cameo, but just being one of six supporting actors in a film
like Mission Impossible is a huge achievement,” asserts Rajeev.

The fans think Kapoor deserved a lot more than this but Hollywood has made him look foolish in the film.

Student Jaineel Nagda stated, “One of India’s best actors showcased as an idiot who’s excited at the sight of a firang (foreigner) woman.”

Mehul Gogri, city-based retail consultant, is equally dismissive: “What was the whole fuss about? I remember reading interviews of Anil about working with Tom Cruise. Why would someone do a miniscule role
that shows him to be a total loser.” 

Nevertheless, Kapoor is not worried about the critics or fans rather the actor believes he was lucky to get such a big opportunity. Furthermore, he insisted that he loved doing a womaniser in the film.

The action spy film, MI-4, which sees Tom Cruise and Paula Patton playing the lead roles, is the fourth instalment in the ‘Mission: Impossible series’ as a result to which it was one of the most awaited
films of this year. The film is doing a pretty good business as well and hopefully it will bring 2011 to an apt end.
