Anil Kapoor is all set to play a challenging role. He's portraying an autistic in his forthcoming movie 'Yuvvraaj'.

The buzz is that the character is similar to Tom Hanks in 'Forrest Gump'. Now that sure is going to be a big challenge for Anil.

According to sources, "Anil plays the elder brother of Salman and Zayed Khan. Subhash Ghai had been meaning to incorporate a physically-psychologically challenged character into his script for a long time. It was Anil who told Subhashji the story idea for 'Yuvvraaj'."

Anil has interestingly played a similar role in a movie called 'Eeshwar' in the late eighties. He was cast as a slow, saintly man who falls in love with a village widow.

Rumour has it that SRK too is playing an isolated Muslim suffering from autism in Karan Johar's 'My Name Is Khan'.

So it's Kapoor Vs Khan again. We wonder whose portrayal would be genuine and more realistic!
