Tusshar Kapoor Reveals Father Jeetendra Has No Plans To Return To Acting: "He Is Done With It"
Mumbai: Actor Jeetendra, one of the top stars of the 1960s and 70s, has no plans to be back on the screen, says son Tusshar Kapoor. Jeetendra gave hits like "Geet Gaya Patharon Ne", "Gunahon Ka Devta", "Farz", "Humjoli" to "Caravan", "Dharam Veer", "Parichay" and "Nagin". He continued to be in top form till the '80s with credits like "Himmatwala", "Tohfa" and "Mawaali", but stopped acting by the mid-1990s and has since made only cameo or minor appearances in films post-2000. Kapoor said his father has no desire of being on a film set ever again. 'He tracks today's cinema. But he's not really interested in going on sets. He said, 'I've done somewhere 200 films'. He started so young, when he was just 20. So, he's done with that. I don't think he was ever interested in doing character roles," the actor told PTI. Kapoor said when his father called it quits on acting, he and many other senior actors were being offered only "stereotypical" roles. "The roles that were offered to senior actors were very stereotypical. Today, there are a lot of very diverse characters. But that wasn't the case back then. He decided to ease out of it. Now, he's more of a businessman," he added. Kapoor hopes his father's legacy is explored through a docudrama series. And not just Jeetendra, a project honouring Dharmendra's career should also be made. "I think dad deserves one, actors like Dharam ji and him, they don't really go out and market themselves," he said, giving the example of "Elvis", the 2022 biographical film about legendary musician Elvis Presley. "Our legends here also deserve that kind of a tribute. That generation of actors, they have such great work, we've learned from those experiences of theirs. So, I think it will be very 'masaledar' to have a docudrama of either of these icons from the 60s,' he said. The actor currently stars in the movie 'Kapkapiii', which was released in theatres on May 23.

Meet actor who once faced poverty, then became star, did 200 films, one mistake ruined his career, has not worked for last 25 years, name is....
Many Bollywood actors came from a very humble background and slowly rose to fame. These actors have always been the inspiration for those who aim to be a star in Bollywood, but their situations pull them back. Today, we will discuss about an actor who once witnessed extreme poverty and then his life changed after entering the Indian cinema. With his grit, resilience and power-packed performances, he won hearts of fans. However, his fate had something else stored for him. This actor whom we are discussing witnessed struggles even after entering the Indian cinema. However, after a certain point of time, he established himself as a known face in the industry. Now, it has been more than 5 decades of him being a part of the cinema and during this tenure, he did over 200 movies. If you are unable to take cues and wondering who this actor is, then let us tell you we are talking about the legendary Jeetendra. Jeetendra made his acting debut in the 1964 Hindi film Geet Gaya Patharon Ne. However, the film turned out to be a huge flop. His major breakthrough in Bollywood came with the film Farz (1967). Over the years, he did many films and was even compared with leading actors such as Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Manoj Kumar and Dharmendra. In an interview, Jeetendra said that he acted in movies to overcome his financial crisis. In the initial days, media reports claim that the actor lived in slums, had no money, no food and yet he did not give up. Jeetendra's life turned when he ventured into production. In 1982, he produced Deedar-e-Yaar. However, it failed at the box office. As a result, the actor faced massive financial loss. After this, Jeetendra did not produce a single film for 25 years. He handed over the production work to his daughters Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor. Out of these, Ekta is the most successful TV producer and she mostly produces serials. She also produced various web series.
