Rajan Sippy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rajan Sippy was a Bollywood actor who acted in several films in the 1980s and also produced the film Shehzaade (1989).

Sippy began his acting career in the Ramsay Horror 3D film Saamri (1985) and also played a horror role in their next chiller Dak Bangla (1987). He was somehow noticed only in C grade potboilers which never really grossed any profit. He also played Madhuri Dixit's hero in the unsuccessful film Awara Baap(1985).

When offers of acting dried up, he turned to production and produced a movie called Shehzaade(1989) starring Shatrughan Sinha, Dharmendra & Dimple Kapadia but the film bombed. In the 1990s Sippy shifted to Dubai and today is one of the most successful Indian entrepreneurs there, with a chain of hotels and night clubs. He has even employed former Bollywood actresses like Kalpana Iyer & Sonika Gill as managers in his popular restaurant "The Moghul Room".
