Kaveri Kapur daughter of Shekhar Kapur and actor Suchitra Krishnamoorthi is all set to step into the world of acting. However, contrary to earlier reports, her debut film will not be the much-awaited sequel to her father’s 1983 cult classic Masoom. Instead, she will be seen in an entirely different project first.
Suchitra Krishnamoorthi’s Heartfelt Note for Kaveri
On Monday, Suchitra took to Instagram to share the first look of her daughter’s debut film, Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story. The poster features Kaveri in a casual yet stylish look—wearing a blue top and red jacket, her bangs framing her face. She is seen leaning her head on her co-star Vardhan Puri’s shoulder. Vardhan, the grandson of legendary actor Amrish Puri, is dressed in a grey T-shirt and a white striped shirt. The two are sitting against a tree, with the film’s title elegantly placed across the image.
Sharing her excitement, Suchitra wrote in the caption, “OMG my baby girl @kaverikapur. So so soooo proud of you (heart emojis). @disneyplushotstar Some love stories are meant to be… no matter the time, no matter the distance. #BobbyAurRishiKiLoveStory – streaming from 11th Feb.”
Kaveri responded to her mother’s post in the comments section with red heart emojis, showing her gratitude and excitement.
About Kaveri’s Debut Film
Kaveri’s first film, Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story, is a romantic comedy directed by Kunal Kohli, known for hits like Hum Tum and Fanaa. This film marks Kohli’s return to the genre after several years. The movie, produced by Jio Studios, will premiere directly on Disney+ Hotstar on February 11.
Fans were previously expecting Kaveri to make her debut with Masoom 2, directed by her father, Shekhar Kapur. However, that project has been delayed and is set to begin filming later this year. The original Masoom, released in 1983, starred Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi, who are expected to reprise their roles in the sequel.
Kaveri’s Background and Family
Kaveri is the daughter of renowned filmmaker Shekhar Kapur and actress-singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi. The couple got married in 1999 but parted ways in 2007 after Kaveri was born. Despite their separation, they have always supported Kaveri in her artistic pursuits.
Apart from acting, Kaveri is also a talented singer and songwriter. She has released multiple independent music tracks over the years, showcasing her creative abilities beyond the world of films.
Shekhar Kapur Honored with Padma Bhushan
In related news, Shekhar Kapur was recently honored with the prestigious Padma Bhushan award on the eve of Republic Day. Expressing his gratitude, he took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “Am humbled that the Government of India has considered me deserving of a #PadmaBhushan. Hopefully, this award will make me strive harder to serve the industry that I am part of, and the beautiful nation that I am so fortunate to belong to.”
Conclusion
With Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story, Kaveri Kapur is set to carve her own niche in the entertainment industry. While fans eagerly await Masoom 2, her debut film promises to be a fresh and exciting start to her journey in Bollywood. The movie will be available for streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from February 11, and fans are already excited to see Kaveri shine on screen.
