Anil Kapoor’s “24” to return on JioHotstar, new season in works

Actor Anil Kapoor-starrer show “24” is set to make a comeback on streaming platform JioHotstar.

The makers are yet to share key details about the new season, including its cast, plot and release date.

The action thriller, an adaptation of the American series of the same name, ran for two seasons in India on Colours TV. It premiered in 2013, followed by a second season in 2016, and garnered wide acclaim for its storytelling and performances.

The series was helmed by Abhinay Deo and written by Rensil D’Silva. It followed Anti-Terrorist Unit (ATU) Chief Jai Singh Rathod, played by Kapoor, as he battled challenges over a 24-hour period.

Kapoor said the show remains close to him and described it as a unique experience in his career.

“I’ve played many intense and action-driven roles over the years, but ‘24’ was never just another show for me, it was an adrenaline rush like no other. The pace, the pressure, and the real-time storytelling pushed me to stay constantly on edge, both as an actor and as a storyteller. It’s a project that challenged me in the best way and continues to be very close to my heart,” he said in a statement.

Kapoor had earlier adapted the show for Indian television following his stint in the eighth season of the American series, which aired in 2010–2011.

The Indian version was previously produced by Anil Kapoor Film Co and Ramesh Deo Productions.
