How much of Ranbir Kapoor do we see in Rockstar? Janardhan Jakhar is not a cool guy. I won’t say it was the toughest role for me to play, but it was a great experience. Being on the journey of the film itself, I have learnt a lot and grown as an actor. When people see this character, they can see me somewhere in him. You had said you will not work with the same director twice. But you worked with Ayan Mukerji for Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani again after Wake Up Sid? Not at all`85wrong reporting by media. I have never said anything like that. At the same time, as an actor, it’s better for me to work with maximum number of directors. When an actor and a director work together, they grow a relationship between them. Then, the director writes a script for you, creates a character that will suit your personality. So, when he comes up with a script, you say ‘yes’ if you like it`85you want to do the film for yourself. What is religion for you?
My father (actor Rishi Kapoor) is really religious. I am both God-loving and God-fearing. He passed on his belief to his children. However, I don’t regularly go to a gurdwara or dargah or a temple. I don’t visit God every time before release of a film. Whenever I feel like...while driving somewhere`85I visit God. Like, if I am in Amritsar, I visit the Golden Temple just for positive vibes. You can pray to a God even sitting in a car or bathroom, you don’t need to go to a temple. Your character in the film goes through heartbreak. So have you undergone a similar experience in real life? There is a dialogue in Rockstar that to break in life, you need to keep your heart breaking. The pain, dukh, dard, aanso`85these are very important in life. Only when you undergo such experience, an artist is born of you. Janardhan Jakhar takes this too seriously and his journey begins from there. If you ask me if I want a heartbreak`85I don’t know. I am young, I am keen to date women. So let’s hope`85now I know`85I am looking for a heartbreak. How was it working with American model-turned-actor Nargis Fakhri? Nargis? I can say this with a lot of confidence`85.please don’t take this in a wrong way`85but she is by far the best actor I have worked with (male, female everyone included). She came into this film without any baggage, any backdrop of acting, without knowing the language. But then, she worked so hard, she was so dedicated. She used to work for six hours a day on her Hindi. She is one actor who will take the industry by storm with her dedication, talent and passion. You shared the screen for the first time with your grand-uncle and veteran actor Shammi Kapoor in Rockstar, which incidentally was his last film too`85 It was our good luck that we could work with him. He has a small but important role in the film. It was a great experience`85his energy, positivity`85he used to flirt with all assistant directors on the sets. He used to sing songs in happier mood; given that the physical problem he had, he never let it show. The amount of dignity he has given to this film, we will remain indebted to him for that. — TWF
