Indian film producer Boney Kapoor turned 66 on Thursday. Father of Bollywood actors Arjun Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor, Boney has produced movies not just in Bollywood but Tollywood as well. Born into a family which was closely related to the film industry, Boney started his career in 1980 with Hum Paanch which played a key role in establishing cinema veterans Mithun Chakraborty and Amrish Puri in Bollywood.
Over the years, Boney has produced some notable films. Let us take a look at some of them.
Mr India (1987)
Mr India continues to be Boney’s most notable movie to date. The movie marked one of the first science fiction movies in the country. Directed by Shekhar Kapur, Mr India starred Anil Kapoor as the lead actor who gains the ability to turn himself invisible. With this power, he was able to fight one of the most iconic villains — Mogambo, played by Amrish.
Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja (1993)
Boney lost a lot of money as he produced this movie which did not yield the expected results. Initially, the movie was being directed by Shekhar, however, he left halfway through and the project was handed over to Satish Kaushik. The movie starred Anil, Sridevi, Anupam Kher, Jackie Shroff in lead roles.
