Boney
Kapoor
Was
Approached
To
Play
Ranbir
Kapoor's
Father
Boney
Kapoor
told
Mid-day,
"When
Luv
and
his
team
were
writing
the
script,
they
had
a
simple
reference
point
for
the
character
of
Ranbir's
father
-
'somebody
like
Boney
Kapoor'.
One
fine
day,
they
thought,
why
not
have
Boney
play
the
role?"
It
Was
Arjun
Kapoor
Who
Persuaded
Boney
Kapoor
To
Take
Up
The
Role
The
producer
revealed
that
initially,
he
had
turned
down
the
film
because
he
was
busy
with
his
production
ventures.
After
scouting
for
other
actors,
Luv
Ranjan
came
back
to
him
with
the
role
as
he
was
confident
that
Boney
was
perfect
for
the
role.
Further,
Boney's
actor-son
Arjun
Kapoor
persuaded
him
to
take
up
the
role.
"Luv
insisted
I
do
the
role.
He
reached
out
to
Arjun,
who
persuaded
me
for
it.
While
the
team
will
be
shooting
at
a
stretch
in
Delhi,
they
have
given
me
the
liberty
to
fly
down
to
Mumbai
and
attend
to
my
productions,"
Boney
was
quoted
as
saying
by
the
tabloid.
Meanwhile,
Boney
Kapoor
Is
Not
Nervous
About
Being
In
Front
Of
The
Camera
The
producer
told
the
tabloid,
"I
don't
have
butterflies
in
my
stomach.
I
have
been
calm
during
life's
ups
and
downs,
so
why
should
I
feel
apprehensive
now?"
