Many star kids in the film industry have made their own identities based on their talent and have achieved great heights in their careers. This list includes stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, and Hrithik Roshan, but there are also actors like Armaan Kohli, who could not win the hearts of the audience despite being the son of a well-known producer-director.

Rajkumar Kohli, a well-known producer and director of Hindi cinema, is a big name in the industry. A successful film producer and director, who gave many such films in his career, which still hold their place in the hearts of the audience. Talented director Rajkumar Kohli made many blockbuster films in the 1970s and 80s and made his special place in Bollywood. He has also made many actors stars through his films. These include many veteran stars including Reena Roy and Vinod Khanna.

Born on September 14, 1930, in Lahore, Armaan Kohli's father Rajkumar Kohli was also a film producer. This was one of the reasons why Armaan Kohli was always fond of films.
