Raj
Kapoor's
classics
will
soon
be
back
on
television
after
a
gap
of
three
years
on
Zee
Cinema.
And
who
could
be
more
joyed
by
the
development
than
his
son
Randhir
Kapoor.
He
is
glad
that
the
Kapoors
have
been
getting
the
affection
of
the
audience,
generation
after
generation,
not
only
in
India,
but
also
in
Russia
.
"This
is
absolutely
the
right
time
to
get
his
films
on
television.
Our
youth
will
get
to
know
what
kind
of
movies
Raj
Kapoor
used
to
make," he
says
enthusiastically.
Randhir
fondly
recalls
an
incident
that
is
still
fresh
in
his
mind.
"During
a
visit
to
Russia,
we
three
brothers
were
greeted
at
the
airport
by
200
children,
flaunting
fake
moustaches
and
caps
like
Raj
Kapoor.
Then
there
was
this
lady
who
mistook
me
for
my
father
since
I
resemble
him
a
lot.
She
went
on
talking
to
me.
Others
had
to
convince
her
that
I
was
the
son
and
not
the
man
with
whom
she
had
clicked
a
picture
in
1954.
She
then
insisted
that
we
brothers
pose
with
her
for
pictures."
The
former
actor
has
many
more
memories
and
touching
tales
of
how
the
pioneer
of
Indian
cinema
rules
the
hearts
of
millions
of
people
around
the
world.
About
today's
cinema,
Randhir
is
very
optimistic.
"These
days,
corporates
are
also
investing
in
the
film
industry.
This
has
brought
in
more
money.
Single-screen
theatres
are
being
replaced
by
multiplexes
in
cities.
Ticket
prices
have
rocketed
from
Rs
40
to
Rs
150.
Indian
cinema
today
also
has
the
variety
it
lacked
in
the
yesteryear.
It's
not
necessary
anymore
that
the
hero
of
the
film
has
to
be
Rama,
it
can
also
be
Ravana.
All
these
are
positive
changes,"
he
elaborated.
So
isn't
the
time
right
for
the
RK
banner
to
revive
again?
Randhir
assures
that
the
possibility
is
ripe.
"We
will
surely
come
back
in
the
market,
but
that
has
time.
As
of
now,
we
are
just
making
all
our
movies
digital,
so
that
the
picture
quality
improves
and
attracts
more
audience
to
multiplexes,"
he
says.
After
Karishma
and
Kareena,
another
Kapoor
scion,
Ranvir,
will
soon
make
an
entry
into
filmdom
and
Randhir
is
quite
happy
about
it.
Like
the
rest
of
the
family,
Randhir
expects
nephew
Ranvir
also
to
get
the
same
affection
from
the
masses.
After
all,
the
legacy
must
be
carried
on.
