Rajat Kapoor Filmography

Known for his roles in 'Kapoor & Sons' and 'Drishyam', Rajat Kapoor is an actor, screenwriter, director, and producer in Hindi cinema. After watching plenty of movies as a child, Kapoor decided to become a filmmaker at the age of 14. In 1985, he moved to Pune to attend the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII). Initially, Kapoor focused on his career as an actor and made a debut in parallel cinema with the movie 'Khayal Gatha' in 1989. However, he couldn't find more acting jobs and decided to start writing and directing. In 1997, he made his first full-length directorial debut with the movie 'Private Detective: Two Plus Two Plus One'. Kapoor's first popular and major acting work in the industry came with the movie 'Dil Chahta Hai' in 2001. The same year, he gained international fame by featuring in the film 'Monsoon Wedding'. In 2003, he wrote and directed 'Raghu Romeo', which went on to bag a National Film Award. In 2015 and 2016, he was seen in 'Drishyam' and 'Kapoor & Sons', respectively, which are among his most popular works. Kapoor was last seen in the web series 'Scam 1992' as an investigating officer in 2020.
