While Bollywood has the Raj Kapoor RK clan dominating the Hindi Cinema Industry since the 1950s till date spanning over generations , Prithvi Raj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Rajeev Kapoor , Rishi Kapoor and the millennial Ranbir Kapoor are legendary names on their own.
The story in the Sandalwood Kannada Film Industry is no different . Rajkumar RK brand of Sandalwood of 1954 branching out to ShivaRajKumar, Raghavendra RajKumar, Puneeth Rajkumar , Vinay Rajkumar, Guru Raj Kumar, the first family of Sandalwood has seamlessly crossed over to the millennium.
While the act of entertainment was predominantly male-dominated in the RK Clan of Bollywood , Karishma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor broke the shackles and created their own space.
