NEW DELHI: Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, who is planning to revive the RK Banner, says he welcomes the idea of joint film production with Pakistan.

"We welcome joint productions with Pakistan and work in healthy conditions, provided we have a good script and a good story to tell. Pakistan has some great talent and great people," said Rishi Friday while speaking at the HT Leadership Summit here.

He was accompanied by his son, actor Ranbir Kapoor.

Rishi worked with Pakistani actress Zeba Bakhtiyar in the 1991 film "Heena", which was produced under the RK banner and directed by his elder brother Randhir Kapoor.

He also said that late Sufi singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was introduced to India by his late father Raj Kapoor.

Nusrat was invited to perform at Rishi and Neetu's wedding.

Rehan | 13 years ago | Reply @Rizwan So true man, dats the reason they are a major hit on DVDs' and some of your local cable and cinema operators broadcast them illegally as it helps them earn a few pennies! And the reason that whenever YOU get a hand on these movies , YOU end up watching them everytime only to realise how crappy they are...
