"Yes Rishi Kapoor will be playing the role of a villain in Auragzeb," a Yash Raj Film spokesperson told PTI.

After the success of Ishaqzaade, actor Arjun Kapoor will also be seen in Aurangzeb.

Directed by Atul Sabharwal, the film will portray Arjun in a double role and will also pair up Jackie Shroff and Amrita Singh again after almost two decades.

This film is rumoured to be a fresh take on the 1978 blockbuster film Trishul and will release next year.
