After playing a negative role for the very first time in his career with Agneepath, it seems that veteran actor Rishi Kapoor has indeed started enjoying being the bad boy (on the silver screen, we mean).

 
Sources claim that Kapoor, who was last seen playing a gay college dean in Student Of The Year, has been roped in to play the role of dreaded gangster Dawood Ibrahim in Nikhil Advani's D-Day. The film, which is about a mission wherein RAW agents are dispatched to bring back Dawood from Pakistan to India, also stars Arjun Rampal and Irrfan Khan.
 
It is being said that when Kapoor was approached for the role the first time, he declined and hence, Arshad Warsi was being considered for the part. However, Nikhil was quite keen to have Rishi on board and after much persuasion, Kapoor finally agreed to play the don.
 
 
In Agneepath, Rishi Kapoor was seen playing the role of an underworld don named Rauf Lala and Kapoor's performance ws much appreciated by one and all.
