Rishi Kapoor plays a negative character in Subhash Ghai’s Kaanchi

Rishi Kapoor has become a leading face of character driven roles that have negative shades. It started with the menacing Rauf Lala in Agneepath, led to the role of a gangster in D-day and now he plays the role of a flamboyant business tycoon who is the villain in Subhash Ghai’s next film, Kaanchi.
Subhash Ghai and Rishi Kapoor have come together after a span of 32 years.

Their first film together was Karz. Even though Karz did not do well at the box office, it’s now considered a cult film.

Kaanchi will see Rishi Kapoor play a businessman who likes the 3 Gs – Girls, Guns, Guitar.
Subhash Ghai says “We are having so much fun on the sets shooting with Rishi Kapoor and it is a pleasure to work with one of the best actors in the industry. I am sure the audience is going to love his look and character in the film.”

Kaanchi stars Kartik Aryan and newcomer Mishti. The movie is going to release on 6^th December 2013.
