Anil enjoyed stunts with Saif and Akshay

A handlebar moustache, the rough sinewy looks, and a tattooed body — Anil Kapoor is all set to present himself in a new style in Yash Raj Films' Tashan.

About his character, he says, "I play a rickshaw driver from Kanpur, who is not very educated. He is ambitious and wants to make it big in life and earn money through lawful or unlawful means. He does not miss an opportunity to do so. He comes to Mumbai and craves for power. He makes it big but he then wants international fame. The character is loveable and funny at times. He also tries to learn English so that he can go abroad and earn more money. I fell in love with the character when Vijay Krishna narrated a few lines to me."

The actor says that doing stunts with stars like Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan gave him another high in the film. "It was thrilling doing these dare delivery stunts with Akshay and Saif. Our action director Peter Hinnes really inspired me to go ahead. He is a go getter and instigates you which otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do. Each time I completed the stunt scenes, I used to look back and think how I managed to do it especially at this age," he says.
