Rishi Kapoor is back with a bang after being treated for cancer and is raring to go on a film set. The actor who does not mince his words and loves to all ‘a spade a spade’ says that he does not believe in competing with other actors, as he only competes with himself. Talking to a leading daily he said, “I am my own competition; I have to challenge myself. Jo aadmi chota hota hai woh aise thinking karta hai (A small man would think like this). I always feel that in whatever I may be doing, I am the best and I am doing good work. I may be a zero in reality, but I think like that.”
Talking about watching his own films and having a perspective on it he said, “I can’t watch my films, nor can I watch my son Ranbir’s films. I can’t judge a film. Neetu (wife) is very practical and she watches every film of both husband and son and gives us feedback. I have not seen Tamasha, Anjaana Anjaani, or Rockstar. I have no perspective on my films and Ranbir’s films. I can watch other people’s films, just not my own.”
When he was quizzed about sharing screen space with his wife veteran actress Neetu Kapoor once again, he jokingly said, “Who wants to see us buddhas (oldies)? We have done 16 films together, 13 of which were as hero and heroine. People want us to work together, and something is in the pipeline.”
However, he did divulge a little about a forthcoming project starring the couple and said, “We are doing a film where we get separated on our 40th wedding anniversary, and that’s the beginning of the film. It’s a remake of an Indian film, and I am thinking of doing that. But I do not wish to give away the title of the film.”
