Note: This article is dedicated to the perennial youth of actor Anil Kapoor who stopped ageing after the song Dhak Dhak Karne Laga.

We’ve seen Hollywood actors go to great lengths to prepare for their roles. They undergo rigorous body transformations, make-up drills and voice modulations to get into the skin of the character and the results are breathtaking.

On the other hand, Bollywood is known to be a lazy bum with actors usually preferring to play safe. However, Anil Kapoor is all set to break the norm and is going all out to portray the father of a full-grown man, Ranveer Singh, in the upcoming movie Dil Dhadakne Do .

Not only does he play a father, he is shedding his boyish charm…
