Sanjay Kapoor's Rajipo: Now is my golden time


There are also many actors in Bollywood who have had great success in the second or third phase of their careers. Sanjay Kapoor is currently enjoying the success of the second phase of his career. The experiment of web series started in Bollywood and Sanjay Kapoor's fortune also opened up. A web series called 'Lust Story' was a success. Sanjay Kapoor started getting one role after another.

Sanjay Kapoor is also credited with the super hit success of India's first space science film 'Mission Mars' which has just been released. In 'Mission Mars', the 'Mangalyaan' of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) reaches the solar system's red planet, Mars. He has a funny story. Tara Shinde (Vidya Balan) is the lead scientist in 'Mission Mars' project and Sanjay Kapoor is playing the role of her husband Sunil Shinde.

In the film, Sunil Shinde constantly teaches his two children in small matters. He keeps on criticizing. At the same time, the scientist continues to express his displeasure about his wife's over-engagement. The audience is reported to have liked this new role of Sanjay Kapoor.

At one stage in 'Mission Mars', Sanjay Kapoor dances to the superhit song 'Akhiyan Milau, Kabhi Akhiyan Churau Kya Tune Kiya Jadu' from his old film 'Raja' (19). When Sanjay Kapoor dances to this song in the theater, the audience really gets excited and sings at the same time.

Sanjay Kapoor, who started his film career with 'Prem' (19), says that in the beginning, the producer-director wanted to choose the song 'Staying Alive'. They didn’t want to use any song from my own film. However, for some reason, the English song was not selected and they used the dancing song 'Akhiyan Milau' from my own film 'Raja'.

In this song, Madhuri Dixit and I have danced together which was a super hit at that time. Today, at the age of 7, I danced to the song of my old film in 'Mission Mars', so the young audience of this generation also resigned. I'm very happy I am the only actor who has sung the song of his film in two different films. With Madhuri Dixit in the first 12 film 'Raja' and with Vidya Balan in 'Mission Mars' in 2014.

'Mission Mangal' has big and successful stars like Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Tapasi Pannu, Nitya Menon, Kirti Kulhari, Sharman Joshi, Dilip Tahil, Vikram Gokhale and many more. However, Sanjay Kapoor has also accepted his small role in the film.

Sanjay Kapoor, who has played the role of hero in films like Raja, Sirf Tum, Chupa Rustam, Mohabbatta, Kartavya, Auzar etc., says that the roles of Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan are major and important in 'Mission Mars'. Yet all the other characters are just as important. Let's say all the other characters have important links with those main characters. Moreover, all these roles have also gained due importance at one stage or another. The Hollywood film 'Ocean-11' also stars George Clooney and Brad Pitt in the lead roles while the rest of the characters in the film are also seen in importance.

Also, I know for sure that at this age and stage I don't get the lead role. However, I know that when you get a chance to work with Akshay Kumar, you are sure that the film will be a success. Today, all of Akshay Kumar's films are happily welcomed by the audience as the themes of his films are varied and experimental. With all these aspects in mind, I have accepted the small but fun role of 'Mission Mars'.

Sanjay Kapoor, who has also co-starred in films like Qayamat, Shandar, Julie and Luck by Chance, says producer-director R. Balki watched my web series film 'Lust Stories'. He approached me because Balki liked my work. Then I met Jagan Shakti, the director of the film. Jaganshakti told me the story of 'Mission Mars' and my role. At the same time, Vidya Balan also talked about the need for a few young and good looking actors as her husband.

All in all I liked all these aspects and I accepted the film. In fact, since the release of 'Mission Mars', I have received many messages praising my role. One young lady even told me on social media, Sanjay Kapoorji, your father's role in 'Mission Mars' is exactly like my father's life. My father also gives us all the teachings of Zazi. He keeps saying that it should be done and not done.

On the other hand, in real life, Sanjay Kapoor (2) is very calm and cheerful. Sanjay Kapoor is in love with his two sons Jahan Kapoor and daughter Shanaya. Gives co-operation to both the children step by step.

Sanjay Kapoor, who was lauded for playing the role of a mentally ill husband in 'Koi Mere Dilse Pooche', is now playing the role of the father of his niece Sonam Kapoor-Ahuja (Sonam is the daughter of Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor) in 'The Zoya Factor'. Sanjay Kapoor says, "Since Sonam is my niece, it is natural that we have a loving relationship."

However, during the shooting of this film, we both stayed together for a very long time. I got to know Sonam better and more accurately. Got it. So we belong to the same family. But Diwali, Rakshabandhan and other festivals - festivals or family reunions, etc. get together only on occasion. So there was very little chance to know and understand Sonam's nature or tastes.

Sanjay Kapoor, who also played a role in Anil Kapoor's big brother and Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor's film 'Mubarak', says, to be honest, I am currently in the golden phase of my career. I get a lot of work in web series and movies. My acting is also appreciated.

Jahnvi Kapoor, the daughter of Sanjay Kapoor's eldest brother and producer Bonnie Kapoor, is making inroads in Bollywood. Now Sanjay Kapoor's daughter Shanaya Kapoor is also preparing to shine in Hindi films.

"My daughter Shanaya was brought up in a film environment," says Sanjay Kapoor. Shanaya has seen the glitter and richness of Bollywood. Yet he did not experience solid reality. That is, there is no necessary knowledge about the technical aspects of how a film is made. Also how much effort it takes to make a film. It’s natural not to even realize it. So I as a father want my daughter to experience all these aspects.

At the same time, it is necessary to adopt the virtues of dealing with the spot boy, electrician, etc. working on the set of the film, giving them respect, etc. That is why my daughter Shanaya is working as an assistant to director Sharan Sharma to go through all these experiences. Currently, Jahnvi is playing an important role in Sharan Sharma's film while Shanaya is doing small and big work on the set of the film. If Shanaya learns all these technical aspects of filmmaking now, he will benefit a lot when he works in films in the future.
