Rishi Kapoor is fondly known as Chintu in Bollywood by his peers and Chintuji, with respect by his juniors. Known for his uncensored innuendos on Twitter and in his interviews, Kapoor launched his biography called Khullam Khulla in 2017. The actor has entertained audiences for the last 50 years with a career arc that starts from awkward teenager infatuated by his school teacher in Mera Naam Joker (1970), to impish nonagenarian in Kapoor and Sons (2016). He won a National Film Award for his debut role as a child actor for his father Raj Kapoor's movie Mera Naam Joker. Though most his films were multi-starrer and only 11 of his films as a single hero were successful, Rishi carved himself a niche with his romantic musical movies in the 70s and 80s. He withdrew from the silver screen in the 90s only to return with strong character roles in films such as Do Dooni Char and Agneepath among others.
