Veteran star Rishi Kapoor has turned 58 years old today but debutante director Habib Faisal still finds him a hero material. The director has recently signed Rishi in his movie 'Do Dooni Chaar' and that too play the lead role.

The once 'chocolate boy' hero was also surprised when Faisal offered him the role. Elaborating on this, Rishi said that Fasial narrated him the script and then he asked him which role the director wanted him to play.

At this question, Faisal replied that he wanted the veteran actor to essay the lead role of Santosh Duggal. Rishi was surprised to hear that and said why the director is taking risk by taking him in lead role as he is no more young and not a very saleable actor too.

Faisal said that he wanted Rishi to play a 54-year-old teacher and suggested his real life wife Neetu Singh to play his reel wife too.

Rishi informed that his wife Neetu does not work in films anymore so the director approached Juhi Chawla but things did not work out.

Then Rishi spoke to his wife, who was not very keen to act again even when he said that she looked lovely in the movie 'Love Aaj Kal'. However, later she agreed after hearing the scrip from the director. Rishi said that she agreed only for the script.

Walt Disney Pictures will be starting their journey to Bollywood with 'Do Dooni Chaar' and this fact also makes Rishi proud.

Hope Rishi and Neetu recreate their hot onscreen chemistry again after so many years!
