Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor has been admitted to a Mumbai hospital, his elder brother Randhir Kapoor said.

The 67-year-old actor was taken to HN Reliance hospital by his family on Wednesday morning.

"He is in the hospital. He is suffering from cancer and he has some breathing problem, so he has been admitted to the hospital. He is stable now," said Randhir.

The actor returned to India last September after undergoing treatment for cancer in the US for almost a year.

In February, Kapoor was hospitalised twice due to his health issues.

He was first admitted to a hospital in Delhi where he was attending a family function. At the time, Kapoor had said that he was suffering from an "infection".

After his return to Mumbai, he was again admitted to a hospital with viral fever. He was discharged soon after.

Meanwhile, the actor recently announced his next project, a remake of Hollywood film The Intern, also featuring Deepika Padukone.
