Since the announcement of the Indian version of the popular thriller series 24, this project helmed by Anil Kapoor and Abhinay Deo has garnered a lot of attention. The show has now gone on floors, with the actor shooting for the first time this week. We bring you the exclusive pictures.

Anil Kapoor, who reprises the role of Jack Bauer in the Indian version, steps out of the vanity van for the shoot. In his first foray into television, Anil plays a Counter Terrorist Unit agent, who has to thwart anti-national activities against India.

The first day of the shoot happened at Thakur College of Aviation. Here we can see Anil Kapoor waiting till the shot is set up. With that relaxed smile, he sure looks confident about his dream project.

The setting for the first day of shoot is an aircraft, and before the actor arrives on set, it is arranged to resemble a real flight scenario. While the series has been adapted to Indian sensibilities, attempts are being made to keep the production value of the original intact.

Once the set is made, director Abhinay Deo, and actor/producer Anil Kapoor exchange notes on the flow of the shoot. As Anil has bought the India remake rights of the original, as well as played an important role in the original series, he has been involved in all aspects of the show.

Discussion with Anil done, Abhinay briefs his team about the shot.

Amidst the rush of the first day of shoot and the pressure of expectations from the series, Abhinay finds time to pose for the camera.

The shot is set, the supporting cast is in place and after a final chat, the 24 team is ready to roll! After this sneak peek into all the work that is going on behind the scenes, we can’t wait to see how this eagerly anticipated show turns out.
