Son of a legendary Bollywood actor turned out to be a flop, did only four films, left acting to become…, he is..

Bollywood’s yesteryears were incomplete without villains. In those times, a movie never made sense if the villain did not give tough competition to the hero. Today, we will talk about an actor who is still remembered for his long-standing ability to portray a variety of characters on screen. This is why he was consistently ranked among the industry’s most successful actors.

But did you know that Kamal Kapoor’s son also tried his luck in cinema? However, unlike his father, he couldn’t achieve the same stardom. Let’s find out who he is.

Who is Kamal Kapoor’s son?

Kamal Kapoor, who dominated the film industry from the 1940s to the 1970s, was once among the most celebrated actors of his time. Known for his versatility, he often portrayed negative characters and police officers on screen.

In 1945, he married Suman Devi, and a few years later, the couple welcomed their son, Kapil Kapoor. Being the son of a superstar, Kapil naturally gravitated toward a career in films.

Kapil didn’t pursue acting and instead entered Hindi cinema as a director. On the other hand, Kamal’s son appeared in four films, directing two of them and serving as an assistant director and producer in the other two.

The names of Kapil’s four films are as follows:

• Khel Khel Mein (1977) – Production Management
• Yeh Vaada Raha (1982) – Director
• Pukar (1983) – Assistant Director
• Chor Pe More (1992) – Director

Kapil Kapoor’s career as a director didn’t go well, and he eventually stopped filmmaking. However, he later directed several television shows.
