Abhishek Kapoor, born 6 August 1971, comes from a filmy background. Ekta Kapoor and Tusshar Kapoor, his cousins, rose to stardom earlier in their lives, whereas his uncle Jeetendra holds a Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award. But things weren't the same for Abhishek Kapoor. His acting career did not take off with his role in ‘Uff! Yeh Mohabbat (1996)’. He then tried his hands in direction with the film ‘Aryan’ in 2006, which did not do well at the big screens. In 2008, he directed ‘Rock On!!’, the film that fetched him recognition and won him a National Award for “Best Hindi Film".

In 2016, he produced and directed ‘Fitoor’, an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ ‘Great Expectations’. In 2018, he directed ‘Kedarnath’, a romantic-drama film based on the 2013 Uttarakhand Floods, and is now preparing for the release of Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor starrer ‘Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui’. Each of Kapoor’s films is a celebration of India’s multi-cultural and multi-ethnic society, featuring the essence, nature, and settings of the country. This has caused each of his films to be completely different from each other, and therefore no signature trademark of the director. In an interview with ‘The Indian Express,’ he said “I feel that there is no similarity between the director who made Kai Po Che, Kedarnath or Rock On.” He believes that the core of direction should be to keep the essence of the film intact. Abhishek’s films are few and far between, but they have made an impact on audiences nonetheless. He goes on to say that ‘What your failure teaches you, your successes will never teach you.’ thus giving an insight into how he works wonders with his films.

He held various accolades like the Telugu Filmfare Award For Best Director and the Best Screenplay Writer award. Soon after he started working on the film ‘Jagadam’ which did not fare well at the box office. During an interview, Sukumar revealed that he made Jagadam in a moment of bravado and innocence, and didn't really think about the audience's response. Most critics say that Sukumar's protagonists are wired differently in terms of psychology, with a grey side. To this Sukumar says, "We all have a lot of emotions and we suppress most of them fearing rejection. To achieve something, there must be a driving force and that could be jealousy which you term as negative" The Tollywood director opines that one doesn't always have to be on top, but growing through each critical review is very important.
