The 63-year-old actor took to Twitter praising Mohit, who became a household name after he played the role of Bharat in "Banoo Main Teri Dulhann".
"I predict stardom for this actor Mohit Malik. You have all that you need to.#JhalakReloaded," Rishi tweeted.
Mohit also explored the negative arena of the small screen with his role of Samrat Singh Rathore in "Doli Armaano Ki".
