A spotlight on actor, director and mogul Raj Kapoor, one of the giants of Indian cinema. Beginning his career as an actor with his father Prithviraj's famed theatre company, Kapoor acted in small film roles beginning in 1935 before founding RK Films in 1948. He made his debut as producer, director and star with the hit film Aag (Fire), in which he starred for the first time with his on-screen muse Nargis. Deriving his screen persona from the smirk and swagger of Clark Gable, the heightened emotions and showmanship of Gene Kelly, and, most importantly, the underdog heroism and sense of pathos of Charlie Chaplin, Kapoor rapidly became the biggest superstar in Indian cinema. Meanwhile, his stylistic innovations helped set the template for the Bollywood films of today.
