The youngest son of Raj Kapoor, why was he a failure, despite having good acting skills, good looks (very similar to Shammi Kapoor) why didn't producers cast him

Don't know. Nobody can just single out any particular reason for someone's failure.

Agree about his good looks. I've always found very handsome & charming looking in the few films he had done in the 80's but he was a very bad actor TBH.

I found him ugly and a non actor, so I can understand why he did not take off. But to each his own.

They say his first movie was a super hit but people only remembered heroine's topless scenes

But he was good looking and resembled Shammi a lot

He was an okayish actor and not that great looking either but he was better than Randhir in both looks and acting

Ram Teri Ganga Maili was a superhit because of Mandakini, the beautiful songs by Ravindra Jain and Raj Kapoor's direction...that was his swan song as he died soon after that.

True. Minus the complexion. Shammi was much more fair than him.
