In an earlier Instagram post, Anil also revealed why he addressed Rishi as James. "The reason I called Rishi Kapoor James was because according to me if there was anyone who looked as good as James Dean it was him…and he loved hearing that from me…he will always be James for me…," he wrote.

Rishi, who was battling cancer for the past two years, breathed his last at a Mumbai hospital on 30th April.
