The veteran actor woke up to several reports of him having a rift with the director of Manto, Nandita Das. Clarifying on the same, the actor recently took to Twitter to speak up against such baseless rumours.
Rishi Kapoor was in for a shock when one of his alleged comments from one of the interviews went viral. The same claimed that the veteran actor had called doing Manto as a ‘wrong call’. However, Rishi, not the one to mince words, decided to shun them on Twitter by adding that it is the work of a mischief monger. He also added that his role in Manto is as miniscule as 15 seconds.
Rishi Kapoor tweeted, “I have done one scene in Nandita Das’s film “Manto” in a cameo. Just for the respect and admiration I have for her. Some mischief monger has tried to create a wedge between her and me. Absolutely untrue! I support the film and wish her all the best at Cannes Film Festival!”
