Riteish
Deshmukh
is
in
the
news
these
days
because
of
his
upcoming
film
Banjo.
In
the
movie,
Riteish
is
playing
the
role
of
a
street
musician
and
that's
the
reason
why,
people
are
comparing
the
movie
to
Ranbir
Kapoor's
Rockstar.
When
asked
about
comparisons
with
Rockstar,
Riteish
told
a
news
agency,
"I'm
a
big
Ranbir
Kapoor
fan;
I
really
like
his
work.
I
think
it
will
be
unfair
to
compare
the
two
films.
When
you'll
see
the
film
and
the
character,
you'll
see
that
both
are
different
characters,
so
there
is
no
parallel
that
you
can
draw.
It
is
like
Shahrukh
Khan
in
a
romantic
role
and
Ranbir
Kapoor
in
a
romantic
role."
Riteish
Deshmukh
further
added,
''Banjo
is
an
extremely
special
film
because
my
friend
Ravi
Jadhav
and
Krishika
(Lulla,
producer)
both
thought
of
me
in
this
role,
which
is
probably
against
so-called
type;
It
is
not
a
comedy,
it
is
a
musical.
I'm
glad
that
they
had
faith
in
me
to
do
this
role
and
I
hope
that
I
have
lived
up
to
their
expectations.''
"I
was
attracted
to
Banjo
because
when
Ganpati
is
at
home
and
when
you
go
for
the
Visarjan,
you
are
in
the
car
singing
'Ganpati
Bappa
Morya...',
but
when
you
look
out
of
the
window,
it
is
fully
a
dhamaal
when
you
see
them
playing
the
Banjo,
so
that
attraction
was
always
there
and
I'm
glad
that
all
my
dreams
I
could
fulfill
with
this
film,"
the
actor
said.
