Anil is currently busy shooting for the second instalment of 24.

“I’d love to be a part of the show but my entire focus is on 24 right now. Doing two shows won’t be possible but whoever comes on board has to be physically fit. I have a few names in mind. We will begin casting soon. It will be made on the same scale as 24,” he said, talking about whether he would be a part of the show.

Anil’s production house has bought the rights to season one of Prison Break. Season two will be underway only after feedback to the first part is in.
