Ranbir Kapoor, who is all set for his second release “Bachna
Ae Haseeno”, says constant assessment with his father
Rishi Kapoor are predictable, but feels that he won’t be
able to compete with his father’s on-screen magnetism. “I
know the audience seeks another Rishi Kapoor in me. But I can
never be like him. He is such a impulsive actor. Interestingly,
a hit song from his father’s film “Hum Kisise
Kum Naheen” inspires the title of his second film “Bachna
Ae Haseeno”. If given a chance to act in the remake
of his father’s super hit “Bobby”,
Ranbir said he would love to romance Dimple Kapadia on screen.
“No one can play the role of Bobby like Dimple
Kapadia did. She is still so beautiful and I would love to flatter
her on screen again if a remake is made,” said the actor.
Ranbir was in town to promote “Bachna Ae Haseeno”
that is releasing this Friday.
Talking about Ranbir’s role, he said it is not that of a
Casanova as the title conveys. “I play a next-door boy and
the film is about his love life at different phases of life.”
The actor says he wouldn’t like to be restricted in lover-boy
image. “In both ‘Saawariya’ and ‘Bachna
Ae Haseeno’ I play a lover boy, but won’t keep myself
limited to that particular image. Give me two years and you will
find me beating up goons and kicking in the air,” said Ranbir
who is expecting his film to do well at the box office. “My
first film ‘Saawariya’ was not a commercially
hit one, though it was the best possible launch that one can ever
have. But this time I expect my film to be a commercially hit
one.” As for romancing his real-life love interest Deepika
in the film, he said: “Both of us have just started our
career. We would appreciate if people talk about the film and
our characters instead of linking our personal life with the romance
on-screen.”
He also pointed out that Hindi film industry has grown highly
competitive in the last couple of years and as a result all actors
have to constantly reinvent themselves. “Right from Amitabh
Bachchan to Darsheel Safary - Bollywood has never been so aggressive.
Every day a new actor takes the control. As a result we actors
have to constantly brush up ourselves,” said Ranbir. His
other films are Rajkumar Santoshi’s “Ajab Prem
Ki Gazab Kahani” and Prakash Jha’s “Rajniti”.
