One conversation with Ranbir Kapoor and you realize that he isn’t someone who is easily flattered. Congratulate him about his recent big success and he won’t start going ga-ga even before you have even finished your sentence.
Also, he is someone who is pretty controlled about his emotions and how he wants to conduct himself in front of the outside world. He understands that being at the top is a ’momentary phase’, is proud of being a Kapoor but doesn’t believe in living forever with this tag and is pretty rooted to the ground reality.
Over to Ranbir who is now all set for Shimit Amin directed ’Rocket Singh- Salesman of the Year’.
Ranbir, you are pretty much being considered as the next big thing that must be a great position to be in?
Really, I am not quite fond of this entire tagging of ’next big thing’. Either you are ’the best thing’ or you are not. There is nothing in between. This is why I don’t take all this adulation seriously. Appreciation is great, but I don’t have any intentions to get carried away.
But being a ’star’ does matter in this industry, isn’t it?
No, it’s not a star but a product that matters. I am truly convinced that people care about the film; it’s story and the treatment rather than just the star presence. I am sure every top actor is also aware of this fact. Whether it is me, Mr. Shah Rukh Khan or anyone else, people would be interested in seeing whether the movie works as a whole or not.
Were you anticipating such huge response for ’Ajab Prem...’? No, not at all! See, as an actor when you work so closely on a project, you tend to lose objectivity. So all you can do it work hard with good conviction and then leave it to God.
I guess the perception factor really worked in everyone’s favor. After ’Wake Up Sid’, people acknowledged this fact that I could act very well. For a limited release, the film did quite well and it’s impact was felt in the huge opening of ’Ajab Prem..’ which was a complete massy affair.
I am positive that this would continue with ’Rocket Singh...’ too.
