New Delhi [India], June 9 : Veteran actor Anil Kapoor arrived in Delhi on Sunday to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

To ensure smooth traffic movement and security, around 1,100 traffic police personnel have been deployed in Delhi. An advisory has also been issued to the public regarding the traffic route arrangements made for the delegates attending the ceremony.
The event is not only drawing attention from within the country but also from neighbouring regions and the Indian Ocean region. Several leaders and state heads have been invited as distinguished guests, highlighting India's 'Neighbourhood First' policy.
Meanwhile, talking about Anil Kapoor's work front, he will soon be seen hosting 'Bigg Boss OTT 3' and in the action-drama film 'Subedaar'. The movie will be directed by Suresh Triveni, who previously directed T-Series' comedy-drama 'Tumhari Sulu' (2017) and 'Jalsa', both headlined by Vidya Balan.
