Ranbir Kapoor |
The fourth generation hero Ranbir Kapoor of Indian cinema's first family is all set to make his debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'SAAWARIYA'. Grandson of the original showman Raj Kapoor and son of Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, 6 foot tall Ranbir is all set to invade the path of stardom with his looks, voice, dancing abilities and excellent command over pure Hindi. He has already become the craze among girls and the top banners of the industry are planning a film with him. Bollyvista talks to the newest Kapoor who has already become a star before his first release…
You have already become a craze amongst youth.
That's the result of a hype which has been created around 'Saawariya'. I was aware that expectations would be very high and I would have to deliver.
How did you get to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali?
I was in USA when Devdas was released. Even at that time I was receiving several offers to work in films. However it was my goal to make my debut with Sanjay Bhansali. So, my step towards that mission was to seek him out and impress him so that he noticed me. Finally, I decided to go up to him and ask for a job as an assistant director. To my good fortune, he asked me why I wanted to be an assistant director, when I was good enough to be a hero. My job was done. He promised me that in his next film I would be the hero. Then, I joined him as an assistant in 'Black'.
But wasn't R. K. Films was also supposed to launch you?
Yes. We were working on the script but Sanjay's offer came first, and we knew that I couldn't get a better opportunity than that. |
