Rishi will play Dawood in D-Day
Rishi Kapoor will now play Dawood Ibrahim in Nikhil Advani's D-Day. Opposed to the director's initial plan, the character will not even be called Dawood anymore.
D-Day was supposed to be an authentic, gutsy, raw and edgy thriller about two RAW agents played by Arjun Rampal and Irrfan being sent to Pakistan to bring Dawood Ibrahim back by road to be tried by the Indian government.
The idea was to name Dawood as Dawood and cast Pakistani actors to play characters from across the border. But now Rishi will play a camouflaged Dawood.
I don't think ahead to the Oscars, whatever happens, happens. It won't be the worst thing to ever happen to me if I don't win. And with my husband by my side, winning wouldn't be the best thing
