With the immense success of recent biopics, the trend of making pictures based on the lives of people has become more and more popular in Bollywood over the years. Keeping this in mind, Rishi Kapoor was recently asked how he would feel is a biopic is made on his father Raj Kapoor’s life.
To this, he said, “We don't want to do anything that would upset any family in the film industry. You can't make a biopic and not say things that happened other than work. There were relationships which I have said it in my book, you can't deny it at all, so why make it at all. I don't want to hurt anybody's emotions or stir up hornet's nest, we don't want to sensationalise. We want the younger generation to know the real Raj Kapoor through his biopic."
The actor had revealed quite a few interesting things about his father in his autobiography, "Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored", where he also mentioned his father's affair with yesteryear's actor Nargis Dutt.
