The
film
D-Day,
which
received
a
fair
share
of
criticism
upon

the
thespian
the
perfect
platform
to
show
his
potential
as
an
actor.

‘Iqbal'
in
style,
which
got
heavy
applause
from
both

This time, it is Rishi's fourth Filmfare Award. Filmfare is always special to Rishi, the lover boy of 80s, because destiny bonded him with it. He won the Filmfare award for the best actor in 1974, for his very first lead role in Bobby directed by his father and legendary actor-director, Raj Kapoor. The versatile veteran also received the Filmfare Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2008.
While Nikhil Advani was shooting the film D-Day that made Rishi win the Best Actor in Negative Role award, he always maintained that Rishi's character is not modeled on dreaded gangster Dawood Ibrahim. But when the film came out, it had a strking resemblance to Dawood who is now settled in Pakistan. It was Rishi's performance that was heavily lauded by critics even though the film has many other stars.
