Vancouver:
Ranbir
Kapoor,
who
proved
his
acting
mettle
in
films
like
Rockstar
and
Barfi!,
wants
to
play
a
negative
role
but
says
that
no
director
is
ready
to
accept
him
in
such
a
role.
"I
would
love
to
play
a
negative
role,
something
that
is
like
an
anti-hero.
Something
without
guitars,
rose
and
without
a
heroine.
I
have
been
asking
this
for
quite
a
long
time,
and
I
hope
the
directors
are
hearing
me
out
and
come
out
with
scripts
like
that," the
30-year-old
told
IANS.
He
spoke
on
the
sidelines
of
the
first
edition
of
the
Times
Of
India
Film
Awards
(TOIFA).
Indian
cinema
is
celebrating
its
100
years,
and
Ranbir
says
a
significant
change
over
time
is
the
fact
that
there
are
"challenging
roles
for
actors
today,
unlike
past
when
an
actor
kept
on
doing
same
kind
of
roles
for
three
to
four
years".
"I
think
the
time
when
films
like
Dil
Chahta
Hai
and
Lagaan
came
into
being,
that
was
the
period
when
we
noticed
the
slight
switch
in
storytelling.
I
think
cinema
has
kind
of
evolved
after
that.
Also,
I
think
every
hero
was
playing
the
same
character
over
three
to
four
years
in
the
past,
but
right
now
there
is
so
much
diversity
in
characters,"
said
the
young
hearthrob
from
Bollywood's
famous
Kapoor
family.
Ranbir
has
himself
managed
to
maintain
a
great
variety
in
his
roles
-
be
it
a
free-spirited
boy
in
Saawariya,
a
loverboy
in
Bachna
Ae
Haseeno,
a
carefree
college
boy
in
Wake
Up
Sid,
a
ruthless
manipulator
in
Raajneeti,
a
struggling
singer
in
Rockstar
or
a
deaf
and
mute
innocent
boy
in
Barfi!.
"There
are
so
many
challenging
roles
now.
There
are
more
stories
to
tell.
Back
then,
there
were
more
society
problems
(in
films).
Now,
we
have
wider
things
to
make,"
he
added.
Of
late,
Bollywood
has
seen
a
lot
of
remakes
-
the
latest
being
Himmatwala
and
Chashme
Baddoor.
But
Ranbir
doesn't
care
much
for
remakes.
"I
don't
believe
in
remakes
and
so
far
I
haven't
done
it.
I
never
say
never,
but
golden
films
can
never
be
made
again.
I
am
very
happy
with
the
kind
of
original
work
that
is
going
around
in
the
industry,"
he
added.
The
actor
will
be
next
seen
in
Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani.
The
film,
directed
by
Ayan
Mukerji,
also
stars
Deepika
Padukone,
Kalki
Koechlin
and
Aditya
Roy
Kapur.
It
