Ranbir Kapoor wants to restart Kishore Kumar biopic again!

Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor has a lot of films in coming time. After the release of his next Sanju, he has Brahmastra, Shamshera and Luv Ranjan’s next.

Ranbir spoke to a tabloid about a probability of doing Raj Kapoor’s biopic. He revealed, “It would be an honour to play him. But I feel a biopic should be made only when you can honestly portray a man’s full life. I hope my family can give that permission to portray the real person that Raj Kapoor was. Not many people know who he was beyond his movies. They do not know him as a person who had such an interesting life. Two biopics I really want to do are Raj Kapoor’s and Kishore Kumar’s.

Ranbir Kapoor was to star in Kishore Kumar’s biopic with Anurag Basu directing the project. But, the movie did not go on floors. Ranbir disclosed, “It did not materialize. We did not get the permission of certain families to use their names, which was integral to the story. We hope to bring them in, though. Kishore Kumar’s is a very interesting personality to portray.”

Ranbir is on a promotional spree for his next release Sanju. The film that is scheduled to hit the theatres on June 29, 2018.

Kapoor Family’s No for showman Raj Kapoor’s biopic!

Hindi Film Industry’s Showman Raj Kapoor boasts of an illustrious career in movies, belting out masterpieces like Bobby, Sangam, Mera Naam Joker and others. 

Yesterday, RK's son, veteran actor Rishi Kapoor launched his autobiography - Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored, in New Delhi. Lending him support was his actress wife Neetu Kapoor, daughter Riddhima Kapoor-Sahni with husband Bharat Sahni.

During media communication, Rishi was asked that in the age of biopics, will the viewers get to see one on his father, Raj Kapoor? To this, Rishi Kapoor told, “We have been approached several times in the past. The heads in the family (including older brother Randhir Kapoor and elder sister Ritu Nanda) debated it and decided to deny permission to everybody who wanted to make a biopic." 

"Even though he was a great man who had an illustrious career and his life certainly warrants a biopic, all of us agreed that we wouldn't let a film be made on his life, at least not in our mother's (Krishna Raj Kapoor) lifetime," Rishi added forcefully.
