Asked when the audience will get to see him and Genelia in a movie together again, Riteish said: “I am hoping that happens soon because she is my favourite co-star. I really enjoy working with her.”

“I want her to do a Marathi film with me because she does (films in) so many languages... So that would be my dream to do a Marathi film with Genelia.”

The actor, who is also a film producer, is happy to witness the growth in the Marathi film industry. “I’m glad that the Marathi industry is flourishing. They are great on content and I have three projects lined up. I will only be producing one of the projects and I am thrilled about it,” he added.
