‘All want to see Deepika and me’

[1]

Ranbir Kapoor’s love life somehow always manages to overshadow his films and the nation’s latest heartthrob unabashedly acknowledges the effect he has on women of all ages.

Expectantly during the promotion of his upcoming film Rockstar, Ranbir was bombarded with questions about his off-set relation with co-star Nargis Fakhri.
All praises for the debutante, he says, “You guys have always linked me with everyone. It does not matter to me but we are not in any kind of a relationship. She will, however, definitely rock this film and Bollywood too. She is a hard-working actress and will see herself on top very soon. Her character is very simple but she has done her best.”
The topic moves on to ex-flame Deepika Padukone and he adds, “Deepika and I are purely friends now. We are two different individuals and we have learned to move on in life. I know that in Ayaan’s film opposite Deepika, everyone would love to see our jodi once again on the silver screen. No one could have refused doing this film. The script is great.”
Talking about his rapport with director Imtiaz Ali, he says, “Imtiaz and I are great friends. We both crave good cinema and all we see is cinema, cinema and cinema. Both of us have different opinions and we get into arguments. However, I always follow the captain of the ship. I do not intend to distort the thought process of the director. After all, it is his brain child.”
For Ranbir, Rockstar was the role of a lifetime. “Rockstar is by far the most challenging role I have done so far. I feel I have matured a little bit. The character seems to have lingered somewhere in me. I like to do my job to the best of my abilities. Working with Imtiaz was a great learning experience. He is an intelligent and painstaking director. I really enjoyed doing this character and wanted the shoot to go on and on… I miss the Rockstar shoot.”
We also ask him about the films he refused to do — Delhi Belly and My Friend Pinto. “Whatever I am doing I am content with. I do not like to discuss the films I am not a part of,” he says.
