When
asked
why
it
took
33
years
to
work
with
Subhash
Ghai,
Kapoor
said,
"Only
Subhash
would
be
able
to
tell.
I
was
27
when
he
shot
the
Om
shanti
Om
song
with
me
for
Karz.
Today
I'm
61,
and
he's
shooting
a
song
in
Kaanchi
with
me,
which
seems
to
have
the
same
energy."
Rishi
Kapoor
plays
a
negative
role-
styled
on
Vijay
Mallya
in
Kaanchi.
"It's
a
negative
character.
The
kind
of
over-the-top
character
that
Subhash
Ghai
creates.
It
is
inspired
by
Vijay
Mallya;
it's
been
styled
on
him.
But
it's
not
the
story
of
his
life," says
Kapoor.
Subhash
Ghai
says
about
Rishi
Kapoor,
"He
will
play
a
khalnaayak
in
my
film.
While
he's
always
been
the
romantic
lover
boy,
lately,
Rishi
has
discovered
his
mean
bone...I
didn't
want
to
cast
him
as
a
conventional
bad
guy.
He
plays
a
negative
character
but
also
a
man
who
is
heavily
into
music."
Kaanchi
stars
newcomer
Mishti
and
Kartik
Aaryan
in
the
lead
roles
with
Mithun
Chakraborty
and
Rishi
Kapoor
in
supporting
roles.
Kaanchi
is
slated
to
release
on
April
25th.
