Even though 'Mughal-e-Azam' released in 1960, Roberto Rossellini reportedly visited India in 1950s. The reports state that legendary artist MF Hussain accompanied Rossellini during his travels across India.

Last seen in 'The Body' alongside Emraan Hashmi, Rishi Kapoor was in the USA throughout 2019. He came back to India in September after his cancer treatment in New York.
