Shashi Kapoor

@@ +1 @@
+'''Shashi Kapoor (b. 1938)'''
+
+Hindi star, producer and director; son of
+Prithviraj Kapoor and younger brother of Raj
+and Shammi Kapoor. Started on the stage
+aged 6 in his father’s production of Shakuntala
+(1944). Also acted the child, Raj, in Aag and in
+Awara. Abandoned studies and worked for
+Prithvi Theatres; then met Geoffrey Kendall’s
+touring theatrical group Shakespeareana
+(which toured India between 1953-6) and
+joined them in Bangalore, playing Shakespeare
+in English and eventually marrying actress
+Jennifer Kendall. Turned to film in 1960. Started
+working with Merchant-Ivory prod. with The
+Householder (1963). Achieved a reputation in
+the West (which peaked as he played the title
+role in Conrad Rooks’s Siddhartha) and
+stardom in Indian love stories after Jab Jab
+Phool Khile, often starring opposite Asha
+Parekh and Sharmila Tagore. Increasingly
+caught up in dramatically undemanding films
+and later played the second principal role in a
+series of Bachchan films following the success
+of their Deewar (Kabhi Kabhie, Trishul,
+Kala Patthar, Shaan). Set up his own
+company, Film-Valas, to distribute Merchant-
+Ivory’s Bombay Talkie, branching into
+production in 1978 with Benegal’s Junoon
+and Kalyug as well as Aparna Sen’s 36
+Chowringhee Lane (1981) and Girish
+Karnad’s Utsav. Regularly acted in British
+productions. As an actor he was not often
+given the chance to stretch himself and his
+image remains that of a lighthearted, slightly
+cynical seducer. His major cultural
+achievements are the works he produced and
+the revival of the Prithvi Theatre in Bombay in
+honour of his father. Directed one film, Ajooba,
+an Indo-Soviet production starring Bachchan in
+an Arabian Nights spectacular. Returned from
+semi-retirement to play the ageing Urdu poet in
+Ismail Merchant’s In Custody. Appeared in
+episodes of the satirical TV series Siyasat as a
+Chief Minister. Not to be confused with the
+older Hindi actor, Shashi Kapoor, who acted
+mostly in mythologicals.
