“We don’t want to do anything that would upset any family in the film industry. You can’t make a biopic and not say things that happened other than work,” Rishi Kapoor told the local media hinting at his father’s extra marital affairs.
He also said that, “There were relationships, which I have spoken about in my book, you can’t deny it at all, so why make it at all. I don’t want to hurt anybody’s emotions or stir up a hornet’s nest, we don’t want to sensationalise.We want the younger generation to know the real Raj Kapoor through his biopic.”
He said that it is the collective decision of the entire Kapoor family not to make a biopic of their father “Since the past 50 years, it (offer for a biopic) is on. Producer Bobby Bedi, who made Bandit Queen, offered to do it. But we, as a family, have an objection till our mother is living.” He told the reporters that if anyone is interesting in knowing about his father then they can read Rishi’s autobiography, Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored. He also added, “If someone wants to make the film against our wishes and if we try to negate it, it will go wrong.”
