Several families have contributed to the advancement of Indian cinema over the years, across sectors, languages, and communities. The Kapoors are the most famous family in Hindi cinema, with five generations of directors, stage artists and actors. They span nearly eighty years of Indian filmmaking, from the 1920s to the present. They are also related to other prominent cinema families. Surinder Kapoor, Bollywood producer and father of actors Anil, Boney, and Sanjay Kapoor, was Prithviraj Kapoor`s cousin.
