But in politics, too, his presence did not make much of a difference, like his contemporaries, Raj Babbar and Shatrughan Sinha.

In 1991, Rishi Kapoor cast him in his directorial venture Aa Ab Laut Chale, where Rajesh played Akshaye Khanna's father. The film did not work.

In 2001, he ventured into television, with serials like Aapne Parai and Ittefaq.

In 2006, Rajesh starred in forgettable films like Jana: Let's fall in Love opposite Zeenat Aman.

Rumour goes that he is likely to sign more films. We wish the superstar all the love and luck!
