On April 30th 2020, the world woke up to the news of the demise of legendary Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor. After a long battle with Leukaemia, the veteran actor succumbed to the illness and left behind millions of heartbroken fans and admirers.
Among these admirers is Ammara Hikmet, producer of the upcoming film ‘The Legend of Maula Jutt’. Hikmet has revealed that Rishi Kapoor himself had messaged her on Twitter to inquire about the release of the Fawad Khan starring film, as well as the overall production costs:
The producer shared the screenshot of the message on her Instagram story, which shows Rishi Kapoor wishing her success with the film followed by some questions regarding the expenses of the film.
In a past interview, Rishi Kapoor had also expressed his desire to visit Pakistan:

The Kapoor family once owned a house in Peshawar which was constructed between 1918 and 1922 by Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor, the father of Prithviraj Kapoor, the first person to enter the film industry in the family.
After all is said and done, it’s heartwarming to know Rishi Kapoor had a soft spot for Pakistan and it’s people, as well as an interest in the ins and outs of Pakistani Cinema.
