In this new generation, Bollywood star kids often grab more headlines than the actors themselves. Every year, several of them step into industry, some manage to build a name, while others quietly fade away. Among them is the daughter of famous on-screen villain, who has now become one of the most talked-about newcomers, especially after giving a kissing scene.

After long struggle and few minor roles in films, Sunil Dutt discovered Shakti Kapoor while filming Rocky to officially launch his son Sanjay Dutt . Shakti Kapoor was cast as villain in the movie.

In 1982, Shakti Kapoor tied the knot with Shivangi Kapoor who is an older sister of renowned actresses Padmini and Tejaswini Kolhapure.

It's a plot that organically leads itself to a sequel, with Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, but the boat is far away from sailing. Ranbir too is aware of the idea and is excited to play an alien,' the source concludes. Aamir is also in advanced talks for a feature film with Lokesh Kanagaraj for a superhero film, which at the moment is scheduled to go on floors in 2027. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
