Re: Bollywood & Its Pioneers
Bollywood & Its Pioneers > Prithviraj Kapoor / पृथ्वीराज कपूर
Prithviraj Kapoor: With him began the legacy of the Kapoor family. Prithviraj was part of India's first film talkie, 'Alam Ara' (1931). He went on to play Alexander the Great in Sohrab Modi's 'Sikandar' (1941), but, above all, he is remembered for portraying Mughal emperor Akbar in Mughal-e-Azam. Kapoor's deep, baritone voice was his USP. Prithvi Theatre was established by son Shashi Kapoor in memory of Prithviraj.
