Rishi Kapoor cannot judge films, says "can watch other people’s films, just not my own"

Rishi Kapoor, in an exclusive interview with a leading media house, revealed that he has not watched Tamasha, Anjaana Anjaani, Rockstar or any of his son Ranbir Kapoor's movies yet. The veteran actor does not watch the movies which feature him or his son as he believes that he is not a good judge of movies. He also revealed that his wife actor Neetu Singh objectively reviews and judges films while he does not.

The actor whose recent film The Body released in theaters on December 13 further revealed that he has signed for a film with his wife Neetu Kapoor. The actor hinted at the plotline of the film suggesting that the film is a remake of an old Indian film. The story is reportedly one where a couple separates from each other on their 40th wedding anniversary which invariably points to the plot of the 2003 drama film Baghban.

In fact, he lauded his son Ranbir Kapoor along with actors Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao among others for their display of acting talents on the screen.
