Meet Bollywood's new star kids

Ranbir Kapoor
Rishi Kapoor's son

Rishi Kapoor was the last Kapoor hero to make big news.

The younger lot from the First Family of Bollywood, like Shashi Kapoor's son Karan Kapoor and even Raj Kapoor's youngest son Rajiv Kapoor, were no shows at the box office.

Rishi, who made his debut in 1973, is still around in the industry, and he was seen in Hum Tum (2004), where he played Saif Ali Khan's dad.

He even tried his luck as a hero in Pyaar Mein Twist. Opposite him was Dimple Kapadia, who was his screen mate in Bobby, their hit 1973 film.

But the new film about an old romantic couple flopped badly at the box office.

Now, son Ranbir is gearing up for his Bollywood innings. He will be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next film. And opposite the newest Kapoor will be Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor's daughter who too is making a debut and who too we will talk about soon.

Apparently, both the star children had some formal training with Bhansali; they assisted him in directing Black.

Interestingly, Rishi Kapoor -- who himself made his debut under the family banner R K Films -- is not launching his son.

'I have not got a script to launch my son. If I had one I would have launched him by now,' Rishi admitted frankly in one of his interviews.

Everyone including Bhansali is very hush hush about the film. All we know is that it is going to be called Savariya, and that it will be a love story.
