Bollywood
heartthrob
Ranbir
Kapoor,
who
is
reprising
Sanjay
Dutt
in
a
Hindi
biopic
on
the
controversial
actor's
life,
looks
heavier
than
usual
these
days.
He
says
he
has
never
before
put
on
so
much
weight.
"It
has
been
an
inspiring
journey
for
me
to
be
playing
Sanjay
Dutt
for
the
silver
screen.
I
have
never
put
on
so
much
weight
before
and
now
plan
to
reduce
some
weight
for
the
next
phase
of
shooting," Ranbir
said
at
the
launch
of
India's
first
HP
Virtual
Reality
(VR)
lounge
at
PVR
ECX,
Mall
of
India
here
on
Monday.
The
yet
untitled
film,
being
directed
by
Rajkumar
Hirani,
would
portray
seven
different
phases
of
Sanjay
Dutt's
life,
starting
from
when
he
was
all
of
22.
"It's
amazing
to
be
working
with
a
director
like
Rajkumar
Hirani," Ranbir,
who
looked
dapper
in
a
gray
suit
and
sky
blue
shirt,
said
at
the
event.
Responding
to
question
from
IANS
on
how
emerging
technologies
like
virtual
reality
may
impact
movie-going
experience,
the
"Ae
Dil
Hai
Mushkil" actor
said
that
although
he
fears
increased
use
of
gadgets
might
take
audiences
away
from
cinemas,
movies
with
good
content
would
continue
to
do
well
at
theatres.
The
VR
lounge
at
PVR
ECX
will
allow
movie-goers
to
experience
a
new
dimension
of
entertainment
while
they
wait
for
their
film
to
begin.
It
will
let
customers
explore
a
whole
new
library
of
fascinating
and
adventurous
immersive
and
interactive
content
curated
from
various
genres
like
drama,
fiction,
science
fiction,
horror
and
action,
among
others.
"It
is
a
mind-blowing
experience
to
go
through
the
VR
experience.
But
being
an
actor,
I
fear
that
it
might
take
away
the
audiences
from
movie
theatres,"
he
said.
Mentioning
the
good
run
of
Varun
Dhawan-starrer
"Badrinath
Ki
Dulhania"
at
the
box
office,
Ranbir
said
he
continues
to
believe
that
"content
is
king".
Without
discarding
the
importance
of
technology
in
our
lives,
he
said
that
it
is
also
important
to
take
time
out
for
our
fellow
human
beings.
"Please
don't
get
consumed
by
electronics,"
he
added.
