India's Most Successful Starkid: Nowadays, the word starkid is being used in a different sense. Everyday, people troll starkid on social media for their acting and sometimes even for things related to their personal life. But there was one actor in Hindi cinema who, despite being a 'nepokid', set new records in the film industry.
This superstar gave 2 big blockbuster films at the age of 25. This is a record which is not easy to make in today's time, especially for modern star kids. Names of actors like Ranbir Kapoor or Allu Arjun may be coming to your mind but we are not talking about any of them.
Who is the hittest star kid?
This superstar is none other than Raj Kapoor. He started his journey with a small role in the 1935 film Inquilab and since then the superstar has acted in more than 60 films.
He left a deep impact on the audience with his acting and films. That is why his cinema is celebrated even today.
He is still famous with the tag of showman
Raj Kapoor's acting career spanned over four decades in which he gave 5 blockbusters, 1 superhit and 11 hits. However, in the year 1949 when he was just 25 years old, the late actor gave 2 blockbusters - Andaz and Barsaat. These films broke the record of the highest grossing Indian films within three months. Two years later, he gave another all-time blockbuster with Awara.
Two of Raj Kapoor's films even went to the Cannes Film Festival. These films were Awara and Boot Polish. Even though they did not win, the actor received a lot of appreciation worldwide. Time magazine praised him and wrote, 'Top 10 great performances in world cinema till date.'
Recently his 100th birth anniversary was celebrated
Raj Kapoor was born on December 14, 1924 and on December 14, his family celebrated his 100th birth anniversary. Raj Kapoor, along with Chetan Anand and Satyajit Ray, was among those Indian filmmakers who are remembered for their contribution to the world of cinema. On the occasion of the birth anniversary, his best films were shown once again in 135 theaters in 40 cities.
