Rishi Kapoor Birth Anniversary: ​​Aamir Khan is not the first Mr. Perfectionist, Rishi Kapoor was

I know, as I know him and many others may know him, I know he has to sit in his chair. Because he hears something or reads somewhere about being 'Mr. Perfectionist' because 'doing a good job in any area of ​​life is not required right? And why are people making a quality like perfection a quality or a value that one man gets in a million once in a while? And before Aamir, wasn't he a perfectionist in the field of acting? What were the great actors like Motilal, Dilip Kumar, Balraj Sahni, and Sanjeev Kumar and actresses like Nutan Perfectionist? And I or anyone who knows anything about acting, How can one forget that despite being a star, Rishi Kapoor was a perfectionist and a superstar of his time? If you ask me who had the good fortune of knowing Rishi the actor (as the son of India's biggest showman). Rishi was more of a perfectionist than the name or the brand. Perfection came to the sage naturally, he did not have to strive for it, nor did he have to work hard for it.

Rishi had worked with Raj Kapoor in 'Mera Naam Joker

Rishi was hardly nineteen when he started shooting for his first film as a hero with his father's film 'Bobby', but the way he went about his scenes and his songs and dialogues and action sequences, it was an It was a pleasure and a sight to see a young actor taking so much interest in his work. He had the highest respect for his father, whom he called 'Raj Sahab', with whom he worked as a child actor in 'Mera Naam Joker' and also assisted him as a director, but He made sure to ask his father about anyone he had doubts about his work. Of course, he later said, I didn't need to learn acting from anyone or anywhere. I just said this to follow what Raj Saheb told me.

Rishi showed his interest in being perfect in all that he did as an actor in films after 'Bobby'. But, the new star actor in search of perfection was again seen at his best when he was seen playing the role of Majnu in Bhaithumpassey. The director who made films like 'Sangharsh' with Dilip Kumar and 'Mere Mehboob' 'Laila Majnu' with Ashok Kumar, Rajendra Kumar and Sadhna. It was a completely new genre of film for Rishi, but he mastered the Urdu language. Each and every scene of the film was shot in minute detail before it was based on the epic love story of Laila and Majnu, played by a debutant actress named Ranjeeta. Rishi was so full of questions that the veteran director, who was impressed, had predicted. Great future for him as an actor. It was interesting to see how Rishi was not put off by his newfound stardom and was only interested in playing roles and he could do that considering this was the first time he took an interest in songs like Sahir Ludhianvi and Madan Mohan Music by a maestro. If I say that there was a certain kind of divine craziness about his performance in the film, I think anyone of that time who saw Rishi at work and the results in the film will not get me what I am saying and Why am I saying what I am saying? His performance in 'Laila Majnu' is his best in a long and glorious forty-eight-year-old career as an actor..

“Rishi never talked about any other actor as his role model or source of inspiration”

His quest for perfection only continued with the quest becoming more and more intense with time and the kind of films he made. He was gradually branded as one of the most successful romantic heroes known. And he also knew that he would have to invent. And reinvent himself if he had to save and protect the actor. If one notices any of his performances as a romantic hero or a lover boy, one can see his intensity, passion, energy and enthusiasm even in every scene and song and especially in the highly dramatic and emotional scenes. He worked with twenty-eight different actresses at different times, some well-known and some unknown, but if one romances these heroines, So one would attribute his entire life to giving romantic scenes a new dimension and a new meaning which he once told me that he had seen Dev Anand do with all the heroines from Madhubala and Nutan and Waheeda Rehman to Rakhi, Zeenat Aman and Tena Munim. had learned after romancing Speaking about Dev Anand, he once told me about a long conversation he had with the ultimate romantic hero, who was none other than Dev Anand, and said, at the end of his long talk, Dev Sahab Those who were seventy-five told me, 'But we young people should do something for Hindi cinema' and I was groomed by men who were old and dear friends of my father, who had the spirit of youth and romance and still have it today.

The story about Aamir spread and perhaps for the first time, Aamir was said to be a perfectionist

Rishi had the life of a music actor. It came naturally to him. He could master any musical instrument in no time and could ensure that he had complete command of the instruments he played when he played them during a song or dance number. He was at his best when he played the 'duff' or 'dufli' as it was called, like his father in his films and even at parties and film festivals abroad, especially in Russia. He was best at playing the 'dafli' in 'Sargam' which was the first of the respected director of Telugu films K. Vaishwanath's film, after watching Rishi's performance and his passion for 'dafli' and other instruments, he said, "I have worked with some great actors, But I have not seen such craziness. To work in another actor. Subhash Ghai took full advantage of Rishi's passion for music and his command over musical instruments when he created Loan.

In the film, Rishi plays the role of a singer and an attractive dancer. In every song of the film, Rishi has played some major instruments like organ, electric guitar and violin. As he didn't start shooting until he had mastered those moments he felt satisfaction or fulfillment. Years later, Aamir Khan had to shoot a song with a giant piano for Yash Chopra's film 'Parampara'. He kept all the senior stars like Sunil Dutt, Vinod Khanna and Yash Chopra and waited till he got his finger right. To match the piano playing in the recorded song. And the stars and Yash Chopra were irritated, but Aamir had his way. The story about Aamir spread and perhaps for the first time, Aamir was said to be a perfectionist. Rishi hasn't completed school like all the other Kapoors, But like his father who had studied only till the eighth grade, he could speak the kind of English that could put masters of the language in the shade. He made sure he had complete scripts before agreeing or disagreeing to do a film and would spend several days reading scripts until he got the hang of them. Getting writers and directors to work was a part of Rishi's way of working. He once said, we Kapoors may not have much love for reading books, but we can tell the difference between a good script and a bad one. We know more about cameras and movies than we know about how we make movies and other sources of learning, we know more about human beings and their behavior than psychologists, psychiatrists and philosophers combined. He could speak the kind of English that would put the master of the language in the shadows. He made sure he had complete scripts before agreeing or disagreeing to do a film and would spend several days reading scripts until he got the hang of them. Getting writers and directors to work was a part of Rishi's way of working. He once said, we Kapoors may not have much love for reading books, but we can tell the difference between a good script and a bad one. We know more about cameras and movies than we know about how we make movies and other sources of learning, we know more about human beings and their behavior than psychologists, psychiatrists and philosophers combined. He could speak the kind of English that would put the master of the language in the shadows. He made sure he had complete scripts before agreeing or disagreeing to do a film and would spend several days reading scripts until he got the hang of them. Working with writers and directors was a part of Rishi's way of working. He once said, We Kapoor may not have much love for reading books, but we can tell the difference between a good and a bad script. We know more about cameras and how to make movies than we do about other sources of learning, we know more about human beings and their behavior than psychologists, psychiatrists and philosophers. But we can tell the difference between a good script and a bad one. We know more about cameras and movies than we know about how we make movies and other sources of learning, we know more about human beings and their behavior than psychologists, psychiatrists and philosophers combined. But we can tell the difference between a good script and a bad one. We know more about cameras and movies than we know about how we make movies and other sources of learning, we know more about human beings and their behavior than psychologists, psychiatrists and philosophers combined.

Rishi's career took a turn when he started playing character roles and even negative roles

Rishi's knowledge of cinema attracted some of the biggest filmmakers who loved working with him. Of them B. R. Chopra, who directed her in 'Tawaif' Yash Chopra, who made films with her like Kabhi Kabhie, Vijay and Chandni (As I write this piece, a strange and sad story comes to my mind, Yash Chopra, Vinod Khanna, Sridevi and Rishi were the main attractions of Chandni and all of them are now a thing of the past) and Manmohan Desai who made Amar Akbar Anthony and Coolie with him. His desire to learn from these directors and even directors who were enlightened about cinema was evident at all times…. His career took a turn when he started playing character roles and even negative roles. That Agneepath, Yeh Hai Jalwa, Aurangzeb, Kapoor & Sons, Fanaa and Namastey London, Student of the Year and 102 Out, Was excellent in his roles in films like. He worked with Amitabh Bachchan in fifteen or sixteen films. He had changed his style and methods of acting to go with the changing times and the change in his image. He started working with the new generation of actors like Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra. The actor who started off as a child artist in 'Mera Naam Joker' was now playing a don, a father, a grandfather, a bad guy and even the son of Amitabh and a homosexual.

Rishi was not only a professional for acting, but he was also a perfectionist in everyday life. He loved his food and it was his food that largely decided his mood. And if there was one thing he could not give up till the end of his life and even at the risk of his life it was whiskey. Like his father, he could drink at any time of the day or night and sometimes started his day at seven in the morning. He wasn't an alcoholic, she said, he was just madly in love with his drink. And he was faithful to his favorite brand of whisky, Black Label, till the very end….

I lost whatever fear I had about death

I have seen many dead bodies lying in cemeteries and crematoriums, but my friend Rishi Kapoor, fifty years old, lying on the cold floor in the Chandanwadi crematorium, was carried on a stretcher made of forest wood, with his body covered by a huge white sheet. Surrounded by my family and my son Ranbir and will be a sight that will be etched in my mind till it is my turn to lie on this cold floor. The day I saw Rishi Kapoor as a dead man for the rest of my life, I lost whatever fear I had about death. I realized that even Rishi Kapoor, who celebrated life, had to be dismissed by death and had to leave behind his fame, his reputation, his endless search for perfection, his small and loving family and even his bottle of Black Label. Had to leave.
