So far it was only Karan Johar who got invited to prestigious international forums to talk on Bollywood. Now Indian cinema has a brand new voice. Quite suddenly Agneepath has spread out new doors for Rishi Kapoor. The newest is that he have been invited by the distinguished London School Of Economics to deal with the scholars at the Indian entertainment industry.
Rishi's lecture on the London School Of Economics is a component the institution's India week which kick starts today.
Says Rishi proudly, "There are other names to discuss other aspects of Indian culture. But yeah, I'LL BE the only real representative for our Indian entertainment industry. And also you know what? I'm proud to be going to this kind of prestigious institution on behalf of an industry where my grandfather, father, uncles, wife and now son are working. Up to now I BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN referred to as Raj Kapoor's son and lately Ranbir Kapoor's father. Not that I minded. But it's worthwhile to be known for myself finally."
Rishi flies to London yesterday.
He says excitedly, "THEY'VE an entire packed time-table planned for me. But I'M really waiting for addressing those bright kids. The most productive brains from internationally are on the London School Of Economics."
Rishi isn't preparing any speech. "Paagal hai kya? When have I ever prepared anything? All my performances was unrehearsed. Why should this be any different? For somebody who didn't make it to college, not bad at all, eh?"
