MUMBAI MIRROR (November 23, 2015)
In a recent QnA with fans on Twitter, Rishi Kapoor confessed that he'd like to play roles with shades of grey, like he did in the 2012 release, Agneepath.
When asked if there were any projects in the pipeline with him in a negative role, he said, “Wish! Nothing that I have heard of late that measures excitement. Want to do sleaze swine conman etc. nothing routine.(sic)“ Agneepath also featured Hrithik Roshan, with whom Kapoor has also shared screen space in Zoya Akhtar's Luck by Chance. Kapoor said he was “waiting“ to do a third film with Hrithik. He wrote: “Hritik is a rock star and my kid too. Known him as a baby. Waiting to nail a third film with him. Hopefully will.“
The 63-year-old expressed reluctance when asked if he'd direct a film again. “Too tiring, too painful and a thankless job. Acting is a passion I enjoy the most. But then who knows? Anything is possible,“ said the actor, who directed the 1999 film Aa Ab Laut Chalen.
Kapoor will be next seen in Shakun Batra's Kapoor & Sons and shared his excitement for the film, stating, “Quite gung-ho about 'Kapoor & Sons'. Watch for the first look early January, hopefully! I am diametrically different."
