Given the fact that Subhash Ghai had last directed Rishi Kapoor in the role of a pop star for "Karz" 32 years ago, it was tough for the filmmaker to direct the veteran actor in the role of a villain in his upcoming film "Kaanchi".

Ghai has been busy shooting for "Kaanchi" these days, and he recently shot a scene with Rishi.

"It was a crazy experience for me to work with Rishi Kapoor after 32 years. It was tough to make him a powerful and interesting villain after presenting him as a pop star in 'Karz'. In 'Kaanchi', he plays a business tycoon with guns, girls and guitars around him. It was fun, " said Ghai.

Rishi even played the trademark "Karz" tune on the guitar for "Kaanchi", .

"It was overwhelming when Rishi played guitar with the 'Karz' tune that he loves. We shot for seven days and now we are heading for three weeks of outdoor shoot, " said Ghai.

"Kaanchi", which will release Aug 30, features newcomer Mishti, alongside actors like Karthik Tiwari and Mithun Chakraborty.
