Ranbir
Kapoor
says
director
Imtiaz
Ali
and
lyricist
Irshad
Kamil,
with
whom
he
worked
in
2011
hit
Rockstar,
have
contributed
a
lot
to
his
success
in
Bollywood.
The
32-year-old
actor
was
lavishly
praised
by
fans
and
critics
for
his
intense
performance
of
a
college
student,
whose
turbulent
love
story
turns
him
into
a
rockstar
in
the
romantic
saga.
Ranbir
is
again
collaborating
with
the
duo
in
his
upcoming
movie
Tamasha,
which
also
stars
his
'Yeh
Jawani
Hai
Deewani'
co-star
Deepika
Padukone.
"Their
contribution
to
the
film
industry
is
well
known
and
to
my
career
it
has
been
immense.
I
cherish
working
with
Imtiaz.
He
and
Irshad
are
responsible
for
what
I
have
achieved
in
Bollywood
with
Rockstar.
"I
have
worked
with
Irshad
in
two
other
films,
besides
'Rockstar'
so
I
have
a
deep
association
with
him.
When
I
heard
the
songs
of
'Rockstar',
especially
'Jo
Bhi
Mai...',
it
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
gaps
you
feel
as
an
actor,
that
you
know
are
hard
to
fill
in
through
a
performance,
Irshad
fills
those
with
his
words
and
it
makes
your
character
more
believable," he
said.
The
'Barfi!'
star,
who
along
with
Imtiaz
released
Irshad's
new
book
of
poems
here,
said
he
finds
poetry
difficult
to
comprehend
but
is
learning
from
the
lyricist
on
the
sets
of
Tamasha.
"Poetry
is
something
you
need
to
understand.
You
can
read
it
but
there
are
many
deep
meanings
behind
the
words
written
in
it.
Working
with
Imtiaz
and
especially
on
Tamasha,
which
has
a
lot
to
do
with
story-telling
and
poetry,
I've
got
to
understand
it.
I've
spent
a
lot
time
with
Irshad
and
A
R
Rahman
in
the
recordings," he
said.
The
actor
has
always
maintained
he
would
love
to
venture
into
direction
sometime
in
future
but
does
not
think
himself
capable
enough
to
take
up
writing.
"Writing
requires
certain
kind
of
skills,
which
I
don't
think
I
have.
I
think
I
can't
write,
just
like
I
can't
take
to
singing," he
said.
Ranbir
said
he
likes
having
stress
in
his
life
as
he
feels
anxiety
keeps
an
actor
on
his
toes
always,
which
is
important
for
one's
performance.
"I
think
stress
and
anxiety
are
important.
Without
them,
one
tends
to
remain
content,
which
limits
the
performance,"
the
actor
said.
