Career
editKapur is known for being the first television personality in India as the host of the first Indian original program produced by a satellite network (Zee TV),[1] Saanp Seedi (Snakes & Ladders). Saanp Seedi was the first and only television series launched on satellite in the Asia-Pacific's from 1992 - 1994 which included Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Saanp Seedi is best described as a combination game and talk show starring Kapur with frequent celebrity guests.[2] His TV success led to a crossover in the Indian Film Industry with his first role being the lead antagonist in Beqabu (1996) which eventually led to a career appearing in over 60 films and TV series. He often plays the good guy turned bad, the "surprise antagonist", such as in his roles in the Disney+ Hotstar film Sadak 2 (2020) and his award nominated performance in the Hindi remake of the Israeli series for Disney+ Hotstar Hostages (2019–2020).
Kapur appeared in the films Jolly LLB, Happy New Year, and Mission Mangal.[3]
Kapur is also known for his work as a voice artist and has dubbed for numerous Hollywood actors including Dwayne Johnson, Tom Hardy, Nicolas Cage and Jackie Chan.
Kapur has also voiced Stephen Strange in the Hindi dubs of his various appearances throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[4] In 2021, he was cast as Yusuf Khan in the MCU titles Ms. Marvel (2022) and The Marvels (2023), and will reprise the role in the upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again.[5][3]
