Veteran Rishi Kapoor says his movie "Doosra Aadmi", which released 1977, had a subject that was much ahead of its time.

"Doosra Aadmi" completed 42 years of its release on October 14.

The romantic drama was directed by Ramesh Talwar and produced by Yash Raj Films. It featured Rishi Kapoor with Raakhee, Shashi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. The film narrated the story of a woman who falls in love with a much-younger man, who resembles her late lover.
