Recently, during an interview, Ananta Jalil revealed that his children don't want him to work in films, as both of them are very religious. 

In the interview, Ananta was asked how his sons react to their parents fighting and doing romantic scenes in films. 

The "Kill Him" star revealed that his sons have a religious mindset and are apprehensive about them working on the silver screen 

"My eldest son Aariz, who is eight years old, has completed two paras of the Quran and he has already memorised those parts. My youngest son is five and a half. He will start reading the Quran soon. Both of them go to school in the morning and later on go to the madrasa in the evening. They really don't want their parents making films," shared the actor. 

Whenever Ananta returns home, the family holds a lottery to decide who will act as the Imam and lead the Namaz. 

Ananta Jalil loves his family and wants to ensure that his children undergo the proper Islamic teachings. He agreed to the idea of leaving the film industry under one condition. 

"I told them no problem my son, as soon as both of you will become Hafez, we will leave the film industry. I love my family and I can do anything for them," concluded the actor. 

Ananta Jalil's "Kill Him" was released on Eid day in 11 theatres across the country. Directed by Mohammad Iqbal, "Kill Him" portrays Ananta Jalil in the role of an agent. In recent times, the film has been performing well in multiplexes.
