Rishi Kapoor says he owes his recent success to Rakesh Roshan

In a small screen interview, Chintu stated that Roshan had asked him to be part of one of his productions a few years ago.

It was for a father's role and required just a day's shoot. Kapoor had turned down the offer. Rakesh had then told him that as if he had a lot of choice on hand. This set the 61-year-old Rishi thinking and he decided to reinvent himself and even take on negative roles for yet another tryst with Bollywood.
