Early life
Main article: Kapoor family
Born in South Mumbai, Rishi Kapoor is the second son of film director and star Raj Kapoor. He did his schooling with his brothers at Campion School, Mumbai. His brothers are well-known actors: Randhir Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor.
Career
1970-1979
Rishi Kapoor debuted in his father's 1970 film Mera Naam Joker, playing his father's role as a child. Kapoor had his first lead role opposite Dimple Kapadia in the successful 1973 film Bobby.
In an interview in 2012 he disclosed "There was a misconception that
the film was made to launch me as an actor. The film was actually made
to pay the debts of Mera Naam Joker. Dad wanted to make a teenage love
story and he did not have money to cast Rajesh Khanna in the film".[2]
Since then he played leading roles as the romantic lead in 92 films
which includes 41 were multi-hero films and 51 solo hero films from
1973-2000. He played opposite his future wife Neetu Singh in 12 films of them Khel Khel Mein (1975), Rafoo Chakkar (1975), Kabhie Kabhie (1976), Amar Akbar Anthony
(1977), Duniya Meri Jeb Mein (1979) and their guest appearance in Pati
Patni Aur Woh (1978) were successful whereas other six were disasters -
Zehreela Insaan (1974), Zinda Dil (1975), Doosara Aadmi (1977), Anjane
Mein (1978), Jhoota Kahin Ka (1979) and Dhan Daulat (1980).
1980-2000
Rishi Kapoor got 51 films as the solo lead hero from 1974-1997, however, many of these were not successful at the box office[citation needed]and and managed only 11 hits - which were Bobby, Laila Majnu, Rafoo Chakkar, Sargam, Karz (1980), Prem Rog (1982), Nagina (1986), Honeymoon, Banjaran, Henna and Bol Radha Bol.
He was often offered the role of playing the younger brother of main
lead heroes in multi hero films where his character would be a romantic
one and the story would revolve around the main lead hero of the film.[citation needed]
His major success came in as the 2nd or 3rd lead hero in films. Rishi
did 41 multi hero films from 1976-2000 where Rishi was casted as 2nd or
3rd lead hero and of them 16 were flops and 25 were hits. He got the
plum lead hero roles in two-hero films only few times like in Khel Khel
Mein, Kabhi Kabhie, Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin, Badalte Rishtey, Aap Ke
Deewane, Saagar then from 1989 with Ajooba, Chandni, Deewana (1992), Damini - Lightning
(1993), Gurudev (1994), Daraar (1996) and Karobaar(2000); otherwise in
the multi hero films Rishi did in late 70's and through-out 80's, it was
his other co-star whose character over-shadowed his and the other
co-star was appreciated more like in case of Naseeb, Katilon Ke Kaatil,
Coolie, Dunuiya, Sitamgar, Zamana, Ghar Parivaar to name a few. In 1999
he directed the film Aa Ab Laut Chalen, starring Rajesh Khanna, Aishwarya Rai, Akshaye Khanna, Kader Khan, Paresh Rawal and Jaspal Bhatti. His last film as a romantic lead was the delayed release Karobaar: The Business of Love (2000).
2001-present
After several box office failures in the 1990s, he eventually moved
on to supporting roles in the 2000s.He has since then played supporting
character roles in films like Yeh Hai Jalwa (2002), Hum Tum (2004), Fanaa (2006), Namaste London (2007), Love Aaj Kal (2009) and Patiala House (2010). He also appeared in the British films Don't Stop Dreaming (2007) and Sambar Salsa (2008). He reunited onscreen with Neetu Singh in the film Do Dooni Chaar (2010).
Rishi Kapoor has acted in Heena, directed by his brother Randhir Kapoor and his father, the late Raj Kapoor, and in Prem Granth, a movie produced by the three Kapoor brothers (Rishi, Randhir and Rajiv Kapoor, directed by Rajiv Kapoor).
He also acted in the movie Chintu Ji in which he plays himself.
