Brothers Randhir Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor are strictly against remaking any of Bollywood legend Raj Kapoor's films. "WE DO NOT need to touch any of Raj Kapoor's films," they said. "WE'VE GOT given up the theory of creating a remake of Awaara. It is vitally difficult to breed the similar magic now,"
the brothers said on the special screening of Raj Kapoor's Awaara here.
Raj Kapoor died June 2, 1988, on the age of 63. To commemorate his 24th death anniversary, a different screening of his film Awaara was organised by Radio Mirchi in Mumbai.
Time magazine has added Raj Kapoor's Awaara to the all time 100 Best list of the best films made since 1923. Made in 1951, this was some of the classics which showed Kapoor within the role of a tramp. The film also had Nargis, one of the crucial prime actors of the golden era.
Even though the Hindi film industry has the superior talent today, the brothers feel that there's no comparison to Raj Kapoor. "THERE'S NO actor like Raj Kapoor today. People remember him today on account of his showmanship. We're so happy that even after 60 years, people watch his films. Till the time people love him, he's going to always be with us," they said.
The Kapoor family have been known for his or her contribution to the Indian film industry. They've been part of the entertainment industry for just about 80 years we've got". given our whole life to the film industry. We're grateful to everyone who has liked us and we want that we will be able to entertain everyone till the time we die," Randhir Kapoor said.
