24 is based on the American series of the same name starring Kiefer Sutherland as counterterrorism agent Jack Bauer.
The Indian version has Kapoor playing Jai Singh Rathore, an agent with the Anti Terrorist Unit, In season two, Rathore is shown as a character haunted by his past. The agent, who had earlier put terrorist Roshan Sherchan in prison, is now on a mission to save Mumbai from the threat of a virus and do everything under his control to protect the country from dark forces.  
India is the first country outside of the US to get rights to adapt the show. 24, which began airing from July 23, has reportedly garned a huge response. 
The series is being aired at 9pm UAE time on Saturday and Sunday on Colors TV.
