How and when did Rishi Kapoor mark his entry into the Bollywood industry?
Rishi Kapoor launched a romantic movie in the Bollywood film industry. The film was directed by his own father, Raj Kapoor. The name of the film was ‘Bobby’. This film proved to be a big turning point in the career of young Rishi Kapoor and also for his father because “Bobby” was a huge success.
From start, there was a lot of pressure on Bobby as it was carrying a huge load on both the father and the son. The major reason for this tremendous pressure on both was the failure of Raj Kapoor’s film “Mera Naam Joker” itself.
