Earlier, Shatrughan Sinha paid tribute to the legendary Raj Kapoor on his birth anniversary through a heartfelt social media post. Calling him a significant inspiration, he wrote on his timeline, “Forever in our hearts, thinking of you today, ‘the greatest showman’ legendary & best #RajKapoor, the great source of inspiration for me always.”
He reminisced about working with Raj Kapoor in the 1976 film “Khaan Dost.” “Reminiscing about working together in ‘Khan Dost.’ You are truly missed. Profound regards to the great Kapoor family. Long Live Raj Kapoor! #BirthAnniversary,” he added.
Directed by Dulal Guha, ‘Khaan Dost’ tells the story of Ramdin Pandey, portrayed by Raj Kapoor, a naive constable in Nasik who struggles to make ends meet. His life takes a turn when a notorious inmate named Rehmat Khan, played by Shatrughan, persuades him to assist in an escape.
Raj Kapoor began his acting career at the young age of 10 with the 1935 film ‘Inquilab.’
