Nobody who watched Karz can forget it. Especially the poor souls who suffered its disastrous remake as well. LPs brilliant score, riveting story, amazing direction and what not. Can anybody forget Rishi Kapoor singing ‘Om Shanti Om’? can anybody forget the gory scene in which Simi Garewal mercilessly kill her husband Raj Kiran?
Yes, Raj Kiran… The same guy who appeared in numerous family drama movies along with Govinda and Kadar Khan. The same guy who gave a brilliant performance in Mahesh Bhatt’s most acclaimed work Arth as a budding singer. The same guy who has been missing for more than a decade. His co-stars and good friends Deepti Naval and Rishi Kapoor were trying to locate him. Even his own family had no knowledge of his whereabouts. However, fortune favors the brave. Rishi Kapoor succeeded in his efforts and tracked him down to a mental asylum in Atlanta, USA (if sources are to be believed).
What went wrong with him? After stupendous success of Karz where he played an important role, he didn’t got the success he always desired. He was appreciated in roles he played but most of them were of second or third male lead. These roles were neither financially good enough nor were they strong enough to motivate the actor beneath the skin. All this followed by family problems started damaging his mental health and according to close friends, he became violent. For some time he went under treatment in India. Later he left India and went to US. Some people allegedly noticed him driving cabs. Only when Deepti Naval started asking about him, people in industry realized that he has been missing for past 10 years.
