He also showed excitement about the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019, which will begin on March 23. “I am super excited for the IPL. My favourite team is Mumbai Indians but I love watching cricket for the spirit of the game,” he added.
The Indian Premier League 2019 will get underway from March 23 in Chennai, where defending champion Chennai Super Kings will lock horns against Royal Challengers Bangalore. BCCI has announced the schedule of first two weeks of IPL and will announce the full schedule once the government declares the dates of general elections.

It is expected that IPL will be played in India and no neutral venue will be required. Earlier, in the year of general elections in India, the BCCI adopted foreign lands to host the IPL matches. In 2014, the first leg of IPL took place in UAE while the second leg was hosted in India. Similarly, in 2009, South Africa hosted the whole IPL.
Fans will once again witness the evergreen on-screen pairing of Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit Nene in “Total Dhamaal”, which is the third installment of the successful franchise “Dhamaal”.
On working with Madhuri, he said: “It felt like not a day had passed. We had a blast working together. She is one of the finest actresses of our industry of all time.”
Anil shared his opinion when he joined his “Total Dhamaal” team to shoot a special episode at Star Sports Studio. It will air on Star Sports 1 Hindi and Star Sports.
