No big names for Ranbir
Ranbir Kapoor has joined the league of actors who prefer to work on only one film at a time and are willing to give bulk dates to a project. But while the men are adopting this method, actresses don’t seem to be following their lead.
From Priyanka Chopra, to Katrina Kaif to Deepika Padukone — all actresses are working on multiple films at a time, making it impossible for them to provide bulk dates to a film.
Perhaps that’s why Ranbir Kapoor has chosen to stay away from big names. He has been requesting his producers to cast him opposite new faces. “A newcomer will have the fresh appeal and the desired bulk dates for start-to-finish schedules,” says a trade analyst.
In the past, both Barfi and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani took long to wrap because the actresses, Priyanka and Deepika respectively, couldn’t devote bulk dates to the films. Ranbir didn’t want a similar situation for his next film Besharam. According to sources, he suggested that a debutante be cast opposite him since all the top actresses were occupied. “He wants to complete the film soon and move on to his next project Bombay Velvet with Anurag Kashyap,” a source says.
Buzz is he has even asked his Rockstar director Imtiaz Ali to adopt the same policy of casting fresh faces.
Somebody seems to have taken up the cause of the bulk dates club.
