His medical treatment in the US may be keeping him from the promotional activities of his next, Rajma Chawal, but trust Rishi Kapoor to keep himself abreast of the goings-on. Director Leena Yadav tells mid-day that the veteran has been thoroughly involved in the run-up to the film's release on Netflix tomorrow.

"We are missing him. We are in constant touch with him and he knows exactly what is happening here," says the director, before adding, "Every time we have had a screening, Rishiji has called soon after to ask about the audience's response. He is responsive and despite the time difference, his replies are quick."
