Anubhav Sinha Recalls The Last Time He Met Rishi Kapoor
Sharing the BTS photos with Mulk cast Taapsee Pannu, Rishi Kapoor and others, Anubhav Sinha wrote in Hindi, 'It has been seven years. This film should have become irrelevant by now. But it hasn't. That's a matter of sorrow. And also joy—that we made it. The whole team did. I was just their manager. The last time I met Chintu ji was at Amit ji's Diwali party. He had just returned from treatment. I had just wrapped the shoot of Thappad. He said, 'Oh, your shoot is done? Keep one more day—we'll shoot your scene and I'll walk past in the background.' Then he hugged me and said, 'Write something soon.'"
He further added, 'I didn't know him for very long. We first met during Mulk. But his passing feels like an irreplaceable personal loss. And with every passing year, that loss feels deeper." Check out the post below!
