Directors, Stories More Important Than Actors: Ranbir Kapoor

Upcoming movie Bombay Velvet starring actor Ranbir Kapoor stressed that film-makers and stories are more important now than the actors performing in those films.

Talking with media on the sets of Bombay Velvet, the charming actor emphasised on the importance of good scripts and direction and also highly praised the work of his co-actress in the movie Anushka Sharma. "Today film-makers and stories are more important than actors or stars and I think that's the way it should be. If I work with Anurag Kashyap, Anurag Basu or Imtiaz Ali, it is only me who will be benefitted rather than me benefitting them," said Ranbir.

The Rockstar hero also came up with congratulating words for the actress Anushka Sharma saying that the audience will be blown away by her performance in the movie Bombay Velvet. "It was great working with Anushka. She has not been on screen for a long time now but you guys will be blown away by her performance," said the actor.

Talking about his role in Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet, the supposed Katrina Kaif's boyfriend, Ranbir said that this has been the most emotionally challenging role that the actor ever played. "More than physical, Bombay Velvet is more emotionally challenging for me. It is a very intense role and I have never been in such a role ever before. But every role has its own challenges and Anurag is a delight to work with," he asserted.

Ranbir further added that although he has done lots of romantic films but Bombay Velvet is the most romantic film he has done till date. "This is a very commercial film. Classes and masses will like it. I hope people give Bombay Velvet a chance so that they can experience a fresh story," said Ranbir.

The charming Kapoor also informed that if everything goes by plan, Bombay Velvet is scheduled to release on December, while the first promo will be launched after July.
