It was a great opportunity for Deepika Padukone to star opposite one of the country’s most celebrated actor Rishi Kapoor in the adaptation of the English film The Intern.
Rishi Kapoor also took to his official Twitter account and announced the remake of the film. He wrote, “Moving on to yet another joueny with Indian adaptation of #TheIntern with @deepikapadukone ! Produced by @SunilKheterpal and #DeepikaPadukone for @iamAzure &_KaProductions in collaboration with @warnerbrosindia and @DenzD (SIC).

But now with Rishi Kapoor’s declining health condition, his association with the film is perhaps not possible. According to a web portal, it has been reported, Rishi Kapoor might withdraw his name from the film. Souces close to the film revealed to the portal, the makers want to start the film at the earliest. But Rishi Kapoor was hospitalised in Delhi during the shoot. Later his family took the necessary precautions and admitted him into the hospital. The actor hasn’t yet completely recovered from his ill-health. This is why he might not be able to be part of the remake of the original Anne Hathaway and Robert DeNiro starrer.
The sources have further revealed to the portal, Rishi Kapoor was the best choice for the role according to the makers. Therefore, they are ready to wait for him to completely recover. But Deepika Padukone’s dates are being wasted due to this wait and if this situation persists, Rishi Kapoor will have to be replaced by another actor.
The Intern is the story of an old man who is in the last leg of his life. However, the wish to learn something new is always burning inside him due to which he joins the company of a few young people as an intern. The Hollywood film starring Anne Hathaway and Robert DeNiro was a huge hit. This is why it is quite possible that this concept is successful in India too.
The sources have further revealed that the makers are waiting for Rishi’s recovery and it will only be with his permission that they will look for some other actor to be part of the role.
Rishi Kapoor was diagnosed with Cancer and he was undergoing treatment for about one year in America. He returned to India last year. Everyone was very happy with his return but again according to sources, Rishi is very tired due to the long-drawn procedure of the treatment and he requires rest. Once he was back from America, he returned to the sets of the film but due to constant bouts of ill-health, the doctors advised him complete rest.
We at Desimartini hope, Rishi Kapoor has a fast recovery and is back on the sets so that his fans and well-wishers can see him work his magic alongside Deepika for the Intern remake.
