"Rocket Singh will get all the respect" - Ranbir Kapoor
Features
oi-Staff
It's
the
Ranbir
Kapoor
wave.
Saawariya
is
a
thing
of
the
past
and
suddenly
the
nation
has
woken
up
to
the
emerging
superstar
who
has
not
just
delivered
two
back
to
back
successes
(Wake
Up
Sid,
Ajab
Prem
Ki
Ghazab
Kahani)
but
also
found
a
certain
respectability
coming
his
way
as
an
actor.
Belonging
to
those
rare
breed
of
newer
generation
actors
who
have
also
found
being
hailed
as
stars
in
their
initial
efforts
itself
(Hrithik
Roshan
is
the
last
big
name
that
comes
to
the
mind),
Ranbir
Kapoor
today
finds
himself
in
a
comfortable
position
in
the
industry.
With
Rocket
Singh
-
Salesman
of
the
Year
coming
up
next
and
all
set
to
be
a
success,
courtesy
names
like
Shimit
Amin
(Chak
De
India,
Ab
Tak
Chappan)
and
Yash
Raj
involved,
he
must
be
a
little
relieved,
right?
"Yes,
I
am
and
mainly
due
to
the
fact
that
Rocket
Singh....
experience
has
taught
me
something
which
is
that
one
can
never
be
over
and
above
a
film.
In
totality,
one
has
to
look
at
the
kind
of
respect
that
the
film
gets.
I
am
sure
Rocket
Singh...
will
get
all
the
respect
that
it
deserves",
he
says
in
a
confident
tone.
Given
the
fact
that
the
director
at
the
helm
of
affairs
is
none
other
than
Shimit
Amin
who
gave
Shah
Rukh
one
of
his
most
respected
characterisation
ever
in
Chak
De
India,
what
is
Ranbir's
view
about
Rocket
Singh...?
"I
can
proudly
say
that
Rocket
Singh...
is
not
just
my
greatest
film
till
date
but
also
one
of
the
greatest
films
made
in
the
recent
times.
Believe
me,
it
belongs
to
a
different
world
altogether",
he
states
positively.
Coming
up
next
is
Rajneeti
which
seems
like
an
altogether
different
outing
for
Ranbir
when
compared
to
the
three
releases
he
has
enjoyed
in
2009.
Happy
to
have
found
himself
in
this
glorious
period
where
different
films
are
being
made?
"Of
course
and
the
best
part
is
that
all
these
films
are
like
chalk
and
cheese
and
have
shaped
up
quite
well",
says
Ranbir.
Meanwhile
these
are
hectic
times
for
Ranbir.
He
has
been
virtually
promoting
Wake
Up
Sid,
Ajab
Prem
Ki
Ghazab
Kahani
and
Rocket
Singh...
back
to
back.
He
was
also
busy
wrapping
up
the
shoot
of
Ranjeeti
while
also
participating
in
the
overseas
schedule
of
Siddharth
Anand's
Anjaana
Anjaani
with
Priyanka
Chopra
in
the
middle
of
it
all.
Given
the
fact
that
recently
even
Amitabh
Bachchan
commented
that
promoting
a
movie
is
tougher
than
shooting,
does
he
too
believe
in
the
saying?
"Ask
me",
he
smiles,
"No
really,
it
is
no
fun.
Thankfully
both
Wake
Up
Sid
and
Ajab
Prem...
succeeded,
so
it
means
that
I
continued
to
talk
about
them
even
after
their
release.
Now
there
is
Rocket
Singh
-
Salesman
of
the
Year
arriving
in
a
few
days
so
I
guess
there
is
still
no
time
for
rest.
Thankfully,
shooting
for
Anjaana
Anjaani
acted
as
a
breather
of
sorts."
