After spending 11 months and 11 days in New York for his cancer treatment, Rishi Kapoor returned to India on September 10. Ever since his return, his fans have been waiting to see him on the silver screen. In fact, Rishi himself is keen to get back to work. “The moment I get back, I will take 15 days off to connect with my roots, get over the jet lag, get into IST (India Standard Time) and hopefully by the end of September I will start shooting,” the actor had said earlier.

Now we hear that Rishi is all set for the full-fledged shoot of debutant director Hitesh Bhatia’s untitled next, which will go on floors on December 5. Apparently, Rishi had completed the patchwork of the thriller in a threeday schedule upon his return to Mumbai and will now return to the set in full swing. “Hitesh’s film is currently under pre-production. It will be shot from scratch and goes on the floors in Mumbai on Thursday. This will be followed by a month-long schedule in Delhi in January,” a leading daily quoted a source as saying. Rishi confirmed the news as well.
