Bollywood's favourite chocolate boy and quintessential romantic hero Rishi Kapoor breathed his last at the age of 67 on April 30, 2020. The actor was battling leukaemia for the last two years. On his first death anniversary, several friends from the industry paid tribute to Rishi Ji. Now, his close friend Rakesh Roshan has talked about Rishi, meeting his family after his demise and wanting to see children Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor in a film together.
When asked if he met Rishi's family after his demise, Rakesh said, "Yes, my wife Pinkie and I did go. We met Neetu, Ranbir Kapoor and Riddhima. And we didn't make the ambience gloomy. We were there for 2 to 3 hours and we reminisced Rishi; I kept telling Ranbir my stories with Rishi when we were young."
He then added that he wishes to see both their sons, Bollywood actors - Ranbir Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan in a film together. "I can never forget the outstation family holidays we took- both Hrithik and Ranbir were with us; they were kids then. I wish to see Hrithik and Ranbir together in one film."
When asked why he doesn't cast them in a film together himself, Rakesh said, "Well, I don't have anything concrete to cast them immediately. For now, even the plans of 'Krrish 4' are on hold. Let COVID get over and then we shall see."
On the work front, Rishi Ji's last film Sharmaji Namkeen is yet to be released.
