  • Talking about the change in cinema and audience preferences, Kapoor opined that back in the 1970s, audiences would not have accepted content-based films like Vicky Donor and Bala.

    "Now, they (audiences) are aware, mostly educated and watch Netflix," he said.

    Notably, Kapoor recently featured in a Netflix movie, titled Rajma Chawal, that was directed by Leena Yadav (Shabd, Parched).

    'I am constantly looking for different roles'

  • Further, talking about his film choices, Kapoor said, "I tried to do whatever I could 25 years ago. No one gave me a chance to do anything different."

    "Now I'm enjoying playing different characters, like in Rajma Chawal, 102 Not Out, Mulk, Agneepath and Kapoor & Sons," he added.

    However, he clarified that he doesn't want to play father figures.

    'Done films where I didn't know what I was doing'

  • Kapoor also admitted that there have been roles that he regrets doing. "I've done a lot of films where I didn't know what I was doing," he said.

    Citing the example of Delhi 6, he said, "My part got lost. It was not what I had heard. The director (Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra) was so confused."

    "I should be more careful in future," he stated.
