Exclusive! Kunal Kapoor admits he never fitted the ‘mould of a Bollywood hero’: I was offered either the role of a poet or a terrorist

Kunal Kapoor, known for Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities (2004) and Rang De Basanti, transitioned from assistant director to actor. Frustrated by typecasting as a poet or terrorist, he’s writing six scripts and starred in The Empire. Over his 20-year career, Kapoor observes changing film moulds and increased audience acceptance of diverse roles.
