Anil Kapoor has signed up to a new project provisionally titled Indian Sherlock.

The actor will team up with Shopgirl director Anand Tucker.

He told Hindustan Times: "Indian Sherlock is not going to be the title; it's just tentative. I love this project and am looking forward to working on it."

The Race 2 star has also begun production on his Indian adaptation of the television drama 24.

Kapoor added: "The shooting for 24 is going well. We're shooting from 7pm to 8am every day.

"When you do such things, you don't [worry about the audience]. You like a story and you go about bringing it to the screen. You have to believe in it to make it work."

He recently said that making the Indian 24 is the biggest responsibility of his career so far.

In December, Kapoor said that he expects Indian audiences to give the show a good reception.
