The actor, who has often talked about his dream to make a biopic on his late grandfather, said he has discussed the potential project with his “godfather” and filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
He has talked to a lot of people, including Sanjay Leela Bhansali, about how to make a biopic on Raj Kapoor. A biopic is not just something which highlights the success in a person’s life, you truly have to portray someone’s life honestly, the lows, struggles, relationship dynamics.
“It’s a very tough biopic to make. He isn’t sure know if his family would also agree for most of the things, to show this side of Raj Kapoor. But he thinks it would really make a great movie.
Ranbir is also excited to reunite with Bhansali in Love & War. The director gave him his first break as an actor in 2007’s Saawariya.
Even after 17 years, it still feels the same. He respects him so much, he hasn’t changed at all.
All he thinks about is his movies.The actor revealed that the first Raj Kapoor song he made his two-year-old daughter Raha listen to was ‘Kisi Ki Muskurahaton Pe Ho Nisaar from 1959’s ‘Anari’.
