Why Russia Loved Showman Raj Kapoor

In 1954, when veteran Bollywood actor Raj Kapoor first landed in Moscow without a visa, believe it or not the Soviet authorities allowed him to pass through immigration without any sweat. Upon stepping out of the airport, he got into a taxi after having waited for a while. Suddenly what he saw was that the taxi is not moving forward and instead is going up. Russian fans of Raj Kapoor had carried the car on their shoulders. Such was the stardom of the legendary actor.

Raj Kapoor was in the Soviet capital to distribute his then recently released film ‘Awara’ to a new audience. The movie sold approximately 64 million tickets and remains the third-most watched foreign film in Soviet Russia.

So what made Raj Kapoor such an icon in Soviet Russia? Watch this video for more.
