About this episode

In this captivating episode of Cyrus Says, dive into an exclusive interview with Zahan Kapoor—the rising star of the iconic Kapoor dynasty—as he opens up about balancing his storied legacy (son of Kunal Kapoor, grandson of Shashi Kapoor, and great-grandson of Prithviraj Kapoor) with forging his own path in Bollywood and beyond. Discover behind-the-scenes stories from his acclaimed roles in Faraaz (2022) and Netflix’s Black Warrant (2025), his grounding journey at Mumbai’s Prithvi Theatre, and upcoming projects like Bandwaale (Amazon Prime) and Dining with the Kapoors. Zahan reveals how his "unfilmy" upbringing, polo passion, and mentorship from father Kunal shaped his craft, why he prioritizes theatre, and the lessons learned from legends like Shashi Kapoor and Ramesh Sippy. With insights on his IMDb "Breakout Star" award, childhood anecdotes about Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan, and his vision for diverse roles, this episode is a must-watch for fans of Indian cinema’s new generation. Tune in for a heartfelt, inspiring conversation on legacy, artistry, and ambition!
