Meet actor who is related to Raj Kapoor, made debut in Rishi Kapoor's flop film, is still not recognised, he is…
The Kapoor family has a unique identity in Hindi cinema. First Prithviraj Kapoor, then his three sons Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor, who gave new heights to Hindi cinema. The careers of most of the stars of this family have reached great heights. But some are still struggling. One of them is Jatin Prithviraj Kapoor.
Raj Kapoor's sons Rishi Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor earned a lot of fame. Now, Ranbir Kapoor has established his dominance in Hindi cinema. But do you know that there are many relatives of the Kapoor family who are still struggling in the world of acting? But people do not pay attention to them. Along with Bollywood, he has also worked a lot on TV.
Jatin Prithviraj Kapoor, the unknown star of the Kapoor family, has been associated with the acting line since the 90s. He is the nephew of Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, and Shashi Kapoor. Despite this, he did not get any big recognition in the acting world, but he is still associated with the acting world. Currently, he has become more active on social media. Some time ago, an old picture of the Kapoor family was seen, in which his mother Urmila Kapoor was seen sitting with her brother Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, and her mother.
Jatin, who was seen with Akshay Khanna, is showing a photo of himself in a video, in which he is seen with Akshay Khanna. This photo is from the time when his cousin Rishi Kapoor gave him work in his first film Aa Ab Laut Chalen. Akshay Khanna and Aishwarya Rai were seen in the lead roles in the film. This was a romantic musical drama film released in the year 1999, in which Jatin worked as an actor. Jatin played the role of Akshay Khanna's friend Ranjit Kapoor in the film. He is telling in this video that Ranjit Kapoor's character was of a helpful and cheerful person, who changes after going abroad. The film did not do well, and after this, Rishi never directed any film again.
Let us tell you that he is the son of Raj Kapoor's sister Urmila. Despite being Raj Kapoor's nephew, he is still struggling. He entered the film world as an assistant director with the star uncle Shashi Kapoor's film Ajooba (1991). Even star cousin Rishi Kapoor's directorial debut film Aa Ab Laut Chale could not save Jatin's career.

'Sitaare Zameen Par': Aamir Khan defends theatres over OTT releases; says, 'I believe in my audience'
Bollywood actor and filmmaker Aamir Khan is standing firm on his belief in the power of cinema halls. His upcoming film 'Sitaare Zameen Par' will be released in theatres in a few days, with no plans to drop it on any OTT platform anytime soon. In a chat with News18 Showsha, the actor opened up about why the film is strictly for cinemas and how he feels the OTT trend is hurting the theatre business. 'I don't know any business where you offer your product, and if someone doesn't buy it, you tell them—don't worry, I'll drop it at your house for free in eight weeks,' he said, speaking about how quickly films are being made available online. 'It doesn't make sense to me. That's the reason many films aren't doing well in theatres.' Theatres vs OTT: Aamir takes a strong stand Aamir believes that good films should be watched on the big screen and not on a phone or laptop at home. He said the trend of quick OTT releases is damaging theatre culture. According to him, this has created a 'famine and feast' situation — either a film becomes a big hit or it fails completely. 'I believe in theatres. I believe in my audience. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 夢の農場を作り上げよう アドベンチャーゲーム Undo If you make a good film, people will come to watch it on the big screen.' For Aamir, the experience of watching a film in a cinema hall is special, and he wants to keep that feeling alive with 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. OTT can't fix a bad film, says Aamir When asked about his last film 'Laal Singh Chaddha', which received better reviews on OTT after a slow run in theatres, Aamir didn't agree with the idea that streaming can change people's minds, 'If someone doesn't enjoy a film in theatres, they won't suddenly like it at home. Your opinion of the film doesn't change just because of where you watch it.' He also mentioned that high ticket prices and expensive food in multiplexes can push audiences to wait for films to come online. Still, he's not letting that affect his creative decisions. What is 'Sitaare Zameen Par' all about? 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is a sports comedy drama directed by R. S. Prasanna. It is produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. The film stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh and is described as a spiritual follow-up to Aamir's 2007 film 'Taare Zameen Par'. The film also marks the Hindi film debut of Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra and Simran Mangeshkar — fresh faces Aamir is excited to introduce to the audience.
