The prime minister then suggested that the family should capture the global impact of Raj Kapoor and his films through visual format.
«Can we do something, probably a film that captures Raj Kapoor's imprint on the hearts and minds of people of Central Asia… He had a big impact on their lives in Central Asia and I think we should resurrect it and connect it with the new generation. We should do something to link this and I think it is possible,» PM Modi said.
