The death of acclaimed actors Irrfan and Rishi Kapoor one after the other left everyone in shock. Their passing left a void in the hearts of their fans as well as their Bollywood colleagues and co-stars. Their demise has also raised several questions about the future of their film projects. Irrfan’s Piku co-star Deepika Padukone shared emotional post for him and Rishi on social media. She shared identical blank canvas for both actors on her social media. Irrfan and Rishi both were supposed to work with Deepika in her forthcoming projects.
Deepika and Rishi were supposed to come together for the Hindi remake of Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro starrer The Intern. However, the film is in jeopardy now as it was supposed to go on floors after Rishi returns from New York where he was undergoing treatment.
On the other hand, Irrfan and Deepika were supposed to reunite for underworld don Sapna Didi’s biopic. However, the film’s shoot was put on hold as Irrfan was diagnosed with reuroendocrine tumour. Now the question arises as to who will take up these roles and fill in the shoes of Rishi and Irrfan opposite Deepika.
Speculations are rife that maybe Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Naseeruddin Shah, Boman Irani or Anupam Kher might take up these roles and star opposite Deepika. Only time will tell who will finally take up these roles. Watch this space for more updates.
