From
a
child
actor
to
one
of
the
sought-after
actors
in
80s
and
early
90s,
Rishi
Kapoor
has
many
successful
films
in
his
career.
In
fact,
the
veteran
star
has
managed
to
stay
relevant
with
time
and
he
believes
that
it's
because
he
build
his
mind
as
an
actor
and
not
the
body.
Recently
in
an
interview
when
asked
about
what
advice
he
would
give
to
budding
actors,
the
actor
told
IANS,
"These
days,
budding
actors
are
more
interested
in
grooming
and
building
their
body.
They
focus
on
building
muscles
than
emotional
exercise,
which
is
important
for
actors.
Build
your
mind
rather
than
your
body
when
you
prepare
for
acting,
because
if
you
have
the
acting
skill,
you
will
surely
become
an
actor.
If
you
don't
have
that,
you
are
replaceable.
Look
at
me,
do
I
have
the
body?
But
I
am
still
working,
because
in
every
film
I
try
to
create
a
character."
He
further
added,
"Okay,
I
maybe
old,
I
do
not
inspire
youngsters.
But
look
at
Ayushmann
(Khurrana),
Rajkummar
Rao,
Ranveer
Singh,
Vicky
(Kaushal)
and
-
I'm
not
taking
his
name
because
he
is
my
son
-
but
Ranbir
too
is
a
talented
actor!
None
of
them
have
'dole-shole'
(muscles).
Kyunki
dole
rahne
se,
kalakar
nehi
banoge.
Bus
gym
mein
paise
phukega
(Having
muscles
won't
ensure
you
will
be
an
artist,
you'll
only
waste
money
in
the
gym).
(Amitabh)
Bachchan
saab
ko
dekho
(look
at
Mr
Amitabh
Bachchan),
he
did
not
have
muscles.
But
even
today,
he
is
the
original
angry
young
man
of
Hindi
cinema!"
During
his
recent
stay
in
the
US
for
health
treatment,
the
actor
said
that
he
got
a
chance
to
see
how
his
films
still
hold
relevance
among
the
international
audience.
Rishi
recalled,
"When
I
got
to
know
that
they
are
interested
in
watching
my
films,
I
suggested
around
10
titles,
and
102
Not
Out
was
one
of
them.
The
next
morning
a
guy
came
to
our
place
with
flowers
and
a
long
handwritten
emotional
note.
He
couldn't
hold
his
tears
because
he
said
the
film
narrated
the
story
of
his
life.
He
said
that
his
son
wants
him
to
die
fast
so
that
he
can
get
all
the
properties.
He
said
that
he
is
82-years-old
and
his
son
does
not
even
talk
to
him."
He
further
added,
"I
realised
cinema
as
a
medium
is
so
universal
that
it
touches
thousand
of
hearts.
I
felt
bad
for
him,
but
I
was
moved
by
the
power
of
cinema."
Speaking
about
films,
the
actor
will
next
be
seen
in
Jeethu
Joseph's
'The
Body'
which
also
stars
Emraan
Hashmi,
Sobhita
Dhulipala
and
Vedhika.
The
film
is
slated
to
release
on
December
13,
2019.
