He has been part of the industry for over 40 years and Rishi Kapoor says though he is enjoying his innings as an actor, the veteran still harbours a lot of "unfulfilled" dreams.
Kapoor made his leading role debut in the 1973 teen-romantic-drama "Bobby" opposite Dimple Kapadia.
"There are a lot of dreams, which are unfulfilled. An actor's journey is never fulfilled. We always look for greener pastures, better roles, better creativity, we all want to do good work. I am enjoying this innings of my life.
"Though sometimes you hit, sometimes you don't get the kind of roles you should get, but sometimes you get the role," Kapoor told reporters on the sidelines of 'Movie Mela' event of the 17th Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival here.
Commenting on how much the content of Bollywood movies has changed over the years, Kapoor said, "Content hasn't changed much. Remakes are still made. 'Don' (Amitabh Bachchan movie) was successful then and it works even today.
"Any cinema has to be entertaining. Boring cinema won't work. If you want to make one, then screen it for free on TV."

The 63-year-old "Do Dooni Chaar" actor believes there is an audience today for content driven films but dislikes the term "art films".
"Today there is an audience for content driven films, which are called 'hatke' films. I am not saying the word 'art films'. There is nothing called art films. The work I do, dance, action, also requires art. Our films are also art films. Those are films, which are boring films."
"If you want to show cinema, make entertainment films. Sometimes they are very good, sometimes very bad but the intention is always to make entertaining films," he added.
