At the New York Indian Film Festival which concluded on Sunday night Rishi Kapoor walked away with the best actor award for his performance in Habib Faizal's Do Dooni Char.

"I am thankful and honoured to be selected from the among the usual festival luminaries per se, " said Rishi tongue-in-cheek from NY about the presence of Rituparno Ghosh, Aparna Sen and the festival regulars.

Grumbling goodnaturedly he says, "A commercial actor is seldom recognized for his skills. My award is for the whole Do Dooni Char family. "

Rishi also reveals that the Do Dooni Char producers Disney International have asked for a sequel.

Says Rishi, "Yes, Disney International have asked Habib to make Do Dooni Char 2 as they too realized that the first film suffered mainly due to a bad release. There's a huge excitement here in New York to recreate the characters of Do Dooni Char in a different space.

They feel if a good script develops it will be great content value for their brand in India and overseas. Representatives of Disney India are also here in New York to release the official DVD of Do Dooni Char. "

While the Do Dooni Char director Habib Faizal returns to India, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh left for Las Vegas for a vacation.
