What Anubhav told ‘spoilt Punjabi boy’ Rishi Kapoor
Speaking in Hindi, Anubhav Sinha said, “Sudhir Mishra told me to talk to Amit ji, which will help the film get funded. But I said ‘I don’t see Amit ji in this part, because Amit ji can look after himself’. We needed a guy who cannot look after himself. So then, Rishi Kapoor.”
The filmmaker said he wrote Mulk’s script in only three days. Further talking about working on the film with Rishi Kapoor, Anubhav said, “He was a bit of a spoilt Punjabi boy, and we had a slight altercation. I told him, ‘You don’t scare me, I’ve handled your uncle in my debut!’” Anubhav worked with late Shammi Kapoor on the television show Shikast, which aired in the 90s.
