Rishi Kapoor On Ranbir Kapoor's Failures: If His One Film Flops Like Jagga Jasoos He Has No Work
Rishi Kapoor talks about Ranbir's flop films like Jagga Jasoos and Bombay Velvet and said he should not succumb to failures.
There's no denying that Ranbir Kapoor is one of the most talented actors we have today but blame his film choices, in last few years, the actor gave a couple of flop films including Roy, Bombay Velvet and Jagga Jasoos. Now, the audience has caught his glimpse of his upcoming film, Sanju and fans are quite confident that this film will be turning point of his career.
Like Ranbir's fans, his dad Rishi Kapoor is also quiet impressed with son Ranbir Kapoor's transformation for upcoming biopic Sanju, and the veteran actor says he is proud of the hard work the young star has put in for his role in the Rajkummar Hirani-directed movie. The actor also talked about Ranbir's failures and said he should not succumb to failures.
Rishi Kapoor On Ranbir's Hard Work
The 65-year-old actor believes Ranbir has inherited his passion for cinema from him.
"I found it very good. He is looking the part. He has worked very hard for all those different parts. To make up his body, he took six weeks off and grew hair. He is an actor and he has passion as well. Thankfully, one thing that I have passed on to him is my passion for work and films," Rishi told PTI.
Rishi Gives A Mantra To His Son
Ranbir's last outing "Jagga Jassos" had failed to garner much attention from the audiences, but Rishi believes an actor should not succumb to failures.
"...Some films will work, some won't. No actor has 100 percent track record. But the passion should be continuous. The fire within you as an actor should always keep burning. That should be the mantra for any good actor," he said.
Rishi Kapoor Says Ranbir Is A Risk-taker
Rishi
said
Ranbir
is
a
risk
taker
and
the
fact
that
he
does
one
film
at
a
time
makes
things
even
tougher
for
him.
"He
has
a
very
different
choice
of
films.
He
has
taken
a
lot
of
risks
at
the
cost
of
what?
He
doesn't
have
four
films
to
fall
back
on,
he
does
one
film
at
a
time.
Like
if
his
one
film
flops
like
'Bombay
Velvet' or
'Jagga
Jassos'
he
has
no
work."
But Rishi Kapoor Admires Ranbir's Choice Of Films
"He doesn't have a film to fall back on or to prove his mettle. That is a huge risk an actor can take. What I admire about Ranbir is his choice of films. Sometimes he will be bad, sometimes he will be good," he said.
Rishi will be seen in a cameo in Nandita Das's "Manto" but the actor said he does not like doing special appearances. "I have 15-second-long role. Nandita was hellbent on me to do it. So, it is a small gesture that I did to them."
When asked if he agrees to do films for the sake of friendship, the actor said, "No I don't do it and I shouldn't do it. It is a very wrong thing that I did 'Manto'. Audience doesn't know why I did this 15 seconds role. They think I do not have work, so I did this role.
"My fans complain to me why I have to do short roles. It is a very wrong thing I did. I shouldn't be doing this. Either give me an elaborate role where I am happy or else I won't do. I don't think I will ever repeat this mistake.
