“Hello all! I am taking a short leave of absence from work to go to America for some medical treatment. I urge my well wishers not to worry or unnecessarily speculate. It’s been 45 years ‘plus’ of wear and tear at the movies,” Rishi wrote.

“With your love and good wishes, I will be back soon!”

Rishi, who made his acting debut in Bollywood with Mera Naam Joker in 1970, was last seen on screen in Mulk, also starring Taapsee Pannu.
