Rajiv Kapoor, who was widely known for his role in Ram Teri Ganga Maili, died in 2021 following a cardiac arrest. The actor, youngest of the three Kapoor Brothers, Randhir and Rishi had made his Bollywood debut with Ek Jaan Hain Hum in 1983. He starred in films like Zimmedaar, Mera Saathi and Hum To Chale Pardes, among others. He also backed other home productions like Prem Granth and Aa Ab Laut Chalen.
Rajiv Kapoor was set to make a Bollywood comeback after nearly three decades with Ashutosh Gowariker and Bhushan Kumar's joint production, a sports drama titled Toolsidas Junior, co-starring Sanjay Dutt.
