In 2018, Rishi Kapoor was diagnosed with cancer. He flew down to the US for the treatment and came back to Mumbai last year in September.

The actor has two films in his kitty, a slice-of-life film with Juhi Chawla and the remake of The Intern which stars Deepika Padukone as well. The film with Juhi Chawla was announced in 2018 but the shooting of the movie was stalled due to Rishi Kapoor’s health. Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla have worked together in many films in the 90s. It will surely be interesting to watch them together on the big screen again.
