The government had offered the noted Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor the chairmanship of Central Board of Film Certification, but he declined it because he felt it was a thankless job, he claimed today.

“It’s true (that I was offered the job). I think it’s a thankless job, and I don’t have the patience to watch so many films,” Kapoor told PTI.

Kapoor was last seen in “All is Well” alongside Supriya Pathak, Abhishek Bachchan and Asin. He will be seen next in Karan Johar’s home production “Kapoor & Sons”.
