Prithviraj Kapoor is best known for his roles in films such as Anand Math (1952), Pardesi (1957) and Mughal-e-Azam (1960). He also started a travelling theatre company, named Prithvi Theatres. Several years later, his son Shashi Kapoor built a theatre of the same name in his father's memory. Prithviraj Kapoor was hounoured with the Padma Bhushan in 1969.
Rishi Kapoor, son of actor Raj Kapoor, is from the third generation of actors in the Kapoor family. He has a commendable career spanning over four decades. He was among the top crop of actors in the Seventies and the Eighties. Over the last few years, Rishi Kapoor has featured in critically acclaimed films such as Mulk, 102 Not Out, Agneepath and Kapoor & Sons among others.
Rishi Kapoor's next film is Rajma Chawal.
The Kapoors recently featured in headlines after Rishi Kapoor and his elder brother Randhir Kapoor (also an actor) confirmed they are selling their father's RK Studio because it was registering losses after a fire destroyed a major portion of the studio last year.
