Anil Kapoor has weighed in on remakes and doesn’t seem to be the biggest fan.

In an interview with Film Companion, he expressed his belief that remakes can make one’s brain “lazy”.

He said, “I like to create a lot of content, original content. In our family, there was a time when we used to do that and then suddenly we went into trying to make remakes. I feel a lot of filmmakers are doing that. For me, I feel that was not a good thing to do because somewhere I think it just makes your brain a little lazy. After all, making original content is very, very tough.”

The actor was recently seen in the Indian adaptation of “The Night Manager”.

So why take on a project that is a remake?

Anil said, “Sometimes as a business, certain things like, 24 and The Night Manager, they’re adaptations, come up. I’m not going to say ‘no’ because it works for me creatively and in terms of playing it a bit safe. But as a creator, you want to do things which are original, which is a lot of fun, a lot of pain, sometimes takes five to six years to lock it, because you’re creating from scratch.”
