Prithviraj Kapoor (1906-1972), a noted pioneer of Indian theater and of the Hindi film industry, belonged to the Kapoor clan. He was born at Samundri near the town of Lyallpur in undivided Punjab. He moved in Bombay in 1928 and ended up founding a dynasty of movie stars and film-makers. In 1944, he started the Prithvi Theatre, a travelling theatre troupe.In his personal life, he remained a traditional Khatri, with the women of his household remaining away from the glitter and decadence of the movie industry. That changed when his grandson Randhir Kapoor married a movie star Babita in 1971. Prithviraj Kapoor would not have approved of the life-style of his great grand daughters.Prithviraj Kapoor's family mansion in Peshawar still stands, now in the possession of some Bangladeshis.
Prithviraj was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for his contribution to Indian Cinema posthumously. His son, Shashi, has revived Prithvi Theatre in his honour.Anish Kapoor, sculptor
