Rishi Kapoor: Raj Kapoor took a huge risk as he made ‘Bobby’ with newcomers

Son of late Raj Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor made some shocking revelations that all the assets were mortgaged all his assets and studio to ensure the release of ‘Mera Naam Joker’. At an award show, Rishi Kapoor recalled that it Raj Kapoor took a huge risk when he made ‘Bobby’ film.


Rishi Kapoor said, “When ‘Mera Naam Joker’ was about to release, our studio and all our assets were mortgaged to release that film, and the picture bombed. We were in severe problems. Then he made a film called ‘Bobby’ with a new boy and a new girl, which was a huge risk after seeing the failure of ‘Mera Naam Joker’. But it became super hit and that is when his friends and my uncles insisted him to buy a house.”


“It’s been 30 years since my father passed away and recently I visited Georgia and Tashkent. Today’s generation has the exposure to watch any of Khans’ films. They can see Kareena Kapoor or Karisma Kapoor or Ranbir Kapoor’s movies also, but why the youth still reacts to Raj Kapoor’s films? I also don’t understand that.”


“They still talk about his films and his films’ music, so I feel Raj Kapoor is still alive in today’s audience which is amazing. I don’t think he intentionally made statements in his films. He used to like a story and then make a film out of that story. He always used to give importance to the story in his films.”
