Rishi Kapoor made headlines when the actor left for New York to undergo his treatment for cancer. While the actor preferred to keep his illness under wraps, it was only recently that he opened up about his big fight. Though he wishes to not discuss his therapy in detail, he insists that he'll return to India in August-end or September. "The cancer is in remission, but I am still under treatment. I have a crucial meeting with the doctors today at 10.45 am (today, July 17) there’s one treatment still left to be done," he said in his recent conversation with Mumbai Mirror. Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor Meet Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor at their New York Apartment - View Pic.

When asked about when will can we expect him to join the movie sets, the veteran actor said, "I am raring to get back to work. I have a film commitment which I will resume. Then, I have another film a director and producer came to meet me for. I can’t get into details right now as we still have to sort out a few things but verbally I have given them a yes." 102 Not out Reunion: Director Umesh Shukla and Team Meet Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor in New York.

When asked about his next release, Joontha Kahin Ka, Rishi Kapoor said, "We shot the film extensively in Mauritius and some portions in Mumbai. Unfortunately, my illness took me away otherwise it would have released earlier. They came to New York to do a part of the dubbing. One more film, The Body (with Emraan Hashmi), is also waiting for me to return and finish it. Perhaps I might dub that there." Well, we do hope for him to return to his homeland very soon and we can't wait to see him shine on the big screen. Here's praying for his early return.
