Boney Kapoor to collaborate with Arjun for solo hero film
What's the story
Film producer Boney Kapoor recently disclosed his plans to produce a series of films, including a solo hero movie featuring his son, actor Arjun Kapoor.
Interestingly, despite their family's deep roots in the film industry, Kapoor's children—Arjun, Janhvi Kapoor, and Khushi Kapoor—began their careers with different production companies.
To date, only two films starring his children have been produced by Kapoor: Tevar with Arjun and Mili with Janhvi.
Filial autonomy
'Such a situation has never arisen': Kapoor discussed children's independence
In a recent conversation with News18, Kapoor clarified that his children have never requested him to create films specifically for them.
He stated, "Such a situation has never arisen. Arjun has never come to me asking for work."
He further revealed, "He [Arjun] knows the scripts I'm working on. He also knows that eventually what is mine is his. It was his choice to do Tevar."
Future collaborations
Kapoor revealed upcoming projects with Arjun
Further, Kapoor disclosed his plans for future projects with Arjun.
He said, "I'll soon be doing a couple of more films with him—No Entry 2 and another solo hero film."
He expressed his fondness for the subject of the solo hero film and mentioned, "I narrated it to him and he has also liked it a lot."
"We are working on that as well," he revealed.
Working with daughters
'Khushi is certainly on my radar'
Meanwhile, speaking of his daughters, Kapoor emphasized, "I haven't yet approached Khushi with a specific project...but she's certainly on my radar."
"As for Janhvi, I have a project in mind that I intend to produce."
Following her debut with The Archies, Khushi is reportedly collaborating with Ibrahim Ali Khan for an upcoming OTT project by Karan Johar.
Meanwhile, her sister Janhvi has several projects lined up, including Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, Ulajh, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, Devara, and RC16.
