It's
pretty
strange
but
I
am
going
to
reveal
a
lot
more
in
this
article.
So
read
on.
Be
patient,
just
observe
and
remember
Saawariya,
for
a
bit.
So,
out
of
the
ordinary,
the
moment
I
reach
my
6th
floor
apartment
at
11.25pm
Indian
time,
I
look
at
my
watch.
It"s
five
minutes
to
go
before
I
call
the
actor
(Prague
time)
for
the
interview.
Just
when
I
am
about
to
change,
my
phone
rings.
It's
an
unknown
number.
I
rush
like
a
desperate
housewife
to
pick
up
because
I
knew
it
could've
been
Ranbir.
And
Ranbir
it
was.
In
a
lot
of
mess
up,
I
told
him
to
hold
the
line
as
I
change
my
tape.
The
interview
begins,
and
till
it
reaches
its
fifteenth
minute,
I
realise
that
Ranbir
was
slipping
into
long
answers
to
my
questions.
In
doing
that,
what
I
didn't
realise
was
that
something
else
was
slipping
too.
Phone
in
one
hand,
my
Dictaphone
in
the
other
and
the
towel
which
I
had
wrapped
around
does
the
disappearing
act
(Saawariya
anyone?).
It
was
strange.
It
was
Anjaana
Anjaani
and
it
was
Ranbir
Kapoor
on
the
other
side.
So
many
co-incidences
in
so
little
time.
The
towel
act
was
consuming.
As
for
Ranbir,
it's
his
acting
that
consumes
him,
defines
him
even.
I've
often
compared
him
to
a
young
Al
Pacino
-
all
hooked-nose,
hollow-eyed
intensity
and
commitment
to
his
'craft'
but
he
has
also
carved
out
his
own,
unique
niche.
People
today
call
him
India's
finest
actor
of
his
generation.
Being
a
movie
star
can
get
into
the
way
of
acting.
But
not
for
Ranbir.
Ranbir
-
the
actor
looses
himself
in
every
role
he
plays.
So
we
can
discover
a
man
named
Raj
from
Saawariya,
Sid
from
Wake
Up
Sid,
Rocket
Singh's
Harpreet
Singh
and
Raajneeti's
Samar
Pratap.
An
actor
with
a
vast
repertoire,
Ranbir
is
always
in
the
lead,
be
it
acting
or
in
numbers.
This
special
correspondent
brings
you
the
interview
of
the
man,
who
had
once
dropped
his
towel,
the
days
when
he
was
actually
called
an
'Anjaana'.
"I
don't
think
you
make
a
film
with
the
objectivity
of
changing
the
way
love
stories
are
made"
Anjaana
Anjaani
is
just
a
simple
love
story.
I
don't
think
you
make
a
film
with
the
objectivity
of
changing
the
way
love
stories
are
made.
You
like
a
story,
you
like
two
characters
and
a
love
story
is
set.
This
is
a
story
about
two
strangers
who
meet
on
the
bridge,
one
committing
suicide
coincidentally
and
they
decide
not
to.
From
there
on,
they
discover
life,
love
and
responsibility.
There
are
so
many
people
who
commit
suicide
because
of
their
college
failures,
financial
issues,
love
life
heart
breaks,
etc.
but
that
doesn't
mean
you
take
your
life
away.
Life
is
worth
living
for
and
that's
what
Anjaana
Anjaani
is
all
about.
"Priyanka
Chopra
surrenders
herself
to
the
character
and
that's
when
the
film
blossoms"
You've
used
too
heavy
words
to
describe
Priyanka
and
Ranbir's
talent
I
should
say
(laughs).
In
fact,
this
is
how
I'd
answer
your
question-
when
two
of
Indian
Film
Industry's
finest
actors
meet
it
puts
more
pressure
on
the
film.
Priyanka
is
such
an
established
actress.
She
just
sinks
into
the
role
so
much
so
that
she
forgets
herself
and
starts
becoming
Kiara,
the
character
she
plays
in
the
film.
That's
important
for
the
film.
An
actor
kills
his
or
her
stardom
and
surrenders
to
the
character;
it
is
when
the
film
blossoms.
Priyanka
has
this
great
quality.
"Music
of
Anjaana
Anjaani
has
a
lot
of
heart"
What
Vishal,
Shekhar,
Anvita
and
Siddharth
Anand
together
have
brought
to
the
songs
is
unimaginable.
Music
of
Anjaana
Anjaani
has
a
lot
of
heart.
It's
not
just
a
music
that
one
listens
to
for
a
month
and
dies
out.
The
entire
soundtrack,
their
thought
and
their
compositions
took
the
movie
forward.
That
was
the
prime
concern.
'Hairat' is
playing
like
a
hurricane
at
the
radio
stations
right
now.
"I
am
not
a
method
actor.
I
turn
up
on
the
sets
and
don't
take
my
job
so
seriously.
I
have
fun
instead"
When
you
hear
a
script,
it's
your
gut
feeling
which
first
counts,
then
it's
your
instinct.
When
I
finish
reading
a
script,
I
try
and
answer
questions
which
go:
What
did
I
like
in
this
script?
Did
I
like
the
whole
film?
Did
I
like
my
character?
Something
should
attract
me
towards
reading
the
screenplay
too.
I
am
not
a
method
actor.
I
turn
up
on
the
sets
and
don't
take
my
job
so
seriously
that
I
immerse
myself
into
the
character.
But
I
do
take
my
job
seriously.
I
have
a
lot
of
fun
with
my
role;
try
to
bring
out
something
intelligent
in
my
role
and
of
course,
with
a
lot
of
help
from
my
director,
costars,
and
my
entire
crew,
everything
falls
in
place.
Acting
for
me
is
quite
organic.
It
is
never
planned.
"Siddharth
Anand
doesn't
make
movies
to
make
a
point"
Siddharth
knows
what
is
right
and
what
is
wrong
and
that's
a
must
for
any
director.
He
is
really
cool.
He
has
got
good
exposure
to
life
and
world
cinema.
He
doesn't
make
movies
to
make
a
point.
He
just
makes
feel
good
films
and
that's
his
nature.
If
you
hang
out
with
Siddharth,
you'll
see
that
he
loves
food,
places,
good
life
and
all
that
reflects
in
his
stories.
Apart
from
that,
his
good
sense
of
story
and
dialogues
of
characters
and
dynamics
between
them
makes
him
a
good
director
to
work
with.
He
doesn't
try
and
make
movies
of
different
genre.
He
sticks
to
what
he
knows
best
and
tweaks
it
a
little.
His
genre
is
a
rom-com
genre,
not
action
or
thrillers.
"The
destinations
shown
in
the
film
are
quite
exotic"
We've
shot
in
the
downtown
side
of
each
city
this
time
around.
It's
not
the
bridges
and
the
landscapes
and
all.
We've
tried
to
go
into
the
heartland
of
certain
cities.
The
audiences
should
feel
that
they
are
a
part
of
that
city.
I
really
don't
know
if
it's
going
to
pay
off
or
not
but
the
destination
which
Siddharth
has
to
offer
this
time
around
is
going
to
be
quite
exotic.
"Box
office
figures
give
me
the
opportunity
to
do
bigger
and
better
things"
Of
course
I
feel
good
after
a
shower
when
I
sit
down
and
think
about
the
box
office
figures.
That's
what
encourages
you,
that's
what
sustains
you
and
gives
you
the
opportunity
to
do
better
and
bigger
stuff.
Honestly,
every
day
after
the
shoot,
when
I
go
home
and
think
of
what
I
did
on
that
day,
it
often
happens
that
I
think
more
about
my
days
on
the
sets
rather
than
the
final
result.
That's
what
brings
out
the
best
in
me.
