In a recent discussion, Rajat Kapoor, a prominent figure in Indian cinema, expressed his concerns about the evolution of the Hindi film hero. He argues that the gentle, 'feminine' traits once embodied by actors like Shashi Kapoor and Rajesh Khanna have been overshadowed since the 1970s by the rise of Amitabh Bachchan's 'Angry Young Man' persona. Kapoor highlights how modern cinema often depicts aggressive and violent male characters, citing Shah Rukh Khan's recent roles in action films like Pathaan and Jawan. He attributes this shift to broader societal changes, particularly urbanization and the loss of connection to one's roots, which he believes has fostered a culture of violence. Vinay Pathak, who stars in Kapoor's latest film Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa, echoed these sentiments, noting that even in his home state of Bihar, a history of violence is deeply ingrained in the culture. The film is currently streaming on ZEE5.
