Mumbai: Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, who won accolades for playing a villain in Karan Johar’s remake of Agneepath, will be seen in a similar avatar for Yash Raj Films’ Aurangzeb.
In Agneepath, Rishi played the role of Rauf Lala, being dressed up in a kurta-pyjama, alongwith a karakul cap and kajal in eyes. “Yes Rishi Kapoor will be playing the role of a villain in Auragzeb,” a Yash Raj Film spokesperson told PTI. After the success of ‘Ishaqzaade’, actor Arjun Kapoor will also be seen in Aurangzeb. Directed by Atul Sabharwal, the film will portray Arjun in a double role and will also pair up Jackie Shroff and Amrita Singh again after almost two decades.
This film is rumoured to be a fresh take on the 1978 blockbuster film ‘Trishul’ and will release next year.
