He proved that he was getting better with each film. This was probably his best performance of his career. Rishi Kapoor re-united with Amitabh Bachchan with 102 Not Out , which was directed by Umesh Shukla. The comedy-drama was a runaway hit film of the year 2018 followed by the hard-hitting, Mulk.
He was diagnosed with bone-marrow cancer for which he had to travel to New York for treatment. But films being his passion, Rishi Kapoor continued to wrap up the shooting of Jhootha Kahin Ka (2019) and The Body (2019), which was the last film of his career.
