Rishi Kapoor all set to start shooting for his next film

Rishi Kapoor was diagnosed with cancer last year and he had flown down to New York for the treatment. After spending 11 months there, he came back to Mumbai in September this year, and now, he is all set to start the shooting for his next film.

Last year, an untitled film with Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla was announced and the shooting of the film had also kickstarted. But due to the actor’s health, the shooting was stalled. According to a report in a tabloid, the movie, which will be directed by debutant Hitesh Bhatia, will start rolling on 5th December 2019.


A source told the tabloid, “Hitesh’s film is currently under pre-production. It will be shot from scratch and goes on the floors in Mumbai on Thursday. This will be followed by a month-long schedule in Delhi in January.”

Well, Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla have worked together in many films like Bol Radha Bol, Saajan Ka Ghar, Daraar, Luck By Chance and others. The two were last seen together in Chalk N Duster in which Rishi Kapoor had a cameo. It will surely be interesting to watch them together on the big screen again.

Meanwhile, Rishi Kapoor will be seen on the big screen in The Body which is slated to release on 13th December 2019. The movie also stars Emraan Hashmi and Sobhita Dhulipala. It is directed by Jeethu Joseph and is a remake of a Spanish film with the same name. The Body will be clashing with Rani Mukerji starrer Mardaani 2.

  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
