Sanjay Kapoor turns 59, as he celebrates his birthday today (October 17). He is the brother of producer Boney Kapoor and actor Anil Kapoor. Being from a filmy background, he also entered the world of acting and gained tremendous popularity with his second film. Sanjay Kapoor’s debut film flopped at the box office. He made his debut in Hindi cinema in 1995 with the film Prem, opposite newcomer Tabu. Although both debutants rendered fairly decent performances, the film was delayed for many years as it had been in production since 1989. Upon release, it bombed at the box office. Kapoor’s next film was Raja (1995), opposite Madhuri Dixit, which was a box office success.
He went on to star in several films as a lead actor such as Auzaar (1997), Mohabbat (1997) and Sirf Tum (1999). Apart from the moderately successful Chhupa Rustam: A Musical Thriller (2001) he didn’t have much success as a lead actor as most of his films failed at the box office. In 2002, he appeared as a villain playing the psychotic husband of Esha Deol in Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe. His performance was praised by critics.
He started playing supporting roles in films like Qayamat: City Under Threat (2003), Julie (2004), Luck By Chance (2009) and Shaandaar (2015).
He turned to producing with his first production Tevar starring his nephew Arjun Kapoor released in 2015. He played a cameo appearing alongside his brother Anil for the first time in Mubarakan (2017).
Sanjay Kapoor has worked with top Bollywood heroines in his career, but almost all of his films have been flops or disasters at the box office.
Sanjay Kapoor started the second innings of his career with OTT a few years ago. He was last seen in Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif’s film Merry Christmas. The actor did a cameo in this film released in January 2024. Apart from this, his film Murder Mubarak was released on Netflix in the month of March.
