It’s a pity that Randhir Kapoor got trapped in the image of a happy-go-lucky awaraa-nalayak version of his father Raj Kapoor.
There was so much more to him than the rumbustious ho-ho-ho blustering bumpkin’s image that he was stuck with. Part of the blame for not breaking out of that stereotype must go to Daboo, alias Randhir Kapoor. He loved to be perceived as a typical Kapoor:overweight foodie with a snappy sense of humour who didn’t care for the hit-or-flop cycle of the boxoffice. But Randhir had the chops, and he had the hits. Take a look.
Fun Facts About Randhir Kapoor: He worked in 15 films with Rekha and they remain friends to this day….Raj Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor appeared in a film together called Do Ustad when Randhir was 12 but they did not play father and son….Randhir worked in a surprisingly large number of hit films including Haath Ki Safai(1974), Chacha Bhatija(1977),Rampur Ka Lakshman(1972) and Jawani Diwani(1972) but was never taken seriously as an actor; maybe because he never took himself seriously.
