Rishi Kapoor might be in New York for his 67th birthday but the actor's co-stars and loved ones made him feel at home by sending special greetings to him. One such birthday wish came from his Gurudev co-star Anil Kapoor. In his birthday wish, the Naayak actor addressed Rishi Kapoor as "James" (a nickname that was given to Rishi Kapoor by Anil Kapoor). Anil Kapoor wrote in his birthday wish: "You've always been like family to me, an elder brother and an actor I admire. I hope to see you working your magic on screen again and look forward to us working together as well. Sending you lots of love and light."
Take a look at Anil Kapoor's tweet here:
As of now, Rishi Kapoor hasn't reacted to the birthday greeting shared by Anil Kapoor or should we say Patton (as he lovingly calls the actor). The duo have worked together in films such as Vijay and Karobaar. That's not it, Rishi Kapoor's son Ranbir Kapoor and Anil Kapoor's daughter Sonam made their Bollywood debut together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2007 film Saawariya.
Meanwhile, Madhuri Dixit, who co-starred with Rishi Kapoor in films like Sahibaan, Yaraana and Prem Granth also wished the actor on Twitter on Wednesday. She wrote: "Happy birthday Rishi Kapoor. Wishing you a year of good health and happiness!"
Rishi Kapoor is currently in New York with his wife Neetu Kapoor, where the Mulk actor is undergoing treatment for cancer.
