Ranbir Kapoor, who is gearing up for his film Shamshera has recently opened up about his father Rishi Kapoor's behaviour on sets. The actor called his father a 'big bully' recalling how Rishi Kapoor treated most of his directors while filming.?
Ranbir Kapoor revealed that while most of the directors got bullied by Rishi Kapoor, Shamshera director Karan Malhotra, who helmed the 2012 movie Agneepath starring Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra and Rishi Kapoor, never bowed down to his late father.?
During an interaction with the Peeping Moon, Brahmastra actor Ranbir Kapoor stated, ¡°My father was always a big bully and he used to test his directors. If he comes on too strong and the director doesn¡¯t hold his own and agrees to everything he says, he knows he has to take over the project. So he always did this testing thing but thankfully, Karan (Malhotra) is such a confident person himself that he always stood his ground.¡±
He further said that even filmmaker Zoya Akhtar used to tell him that his father was such a bully that if "you don¡¯t stand up to him, he will take over the project". "So this was his way of testing people,¡± the Brahmastra actor added.
Apart from this, earlier, Ranbir had also mentioned that his father Rishi Kapoor had told him not to do arty films after he signed Barfi. The actor, who is soon going to embrace fatherhood, said that his dad somehow didn¡¯t understand the choices he made in life.?
Speaking to a leading media portal, Ranbir had said that his dad was a harsh critic. "He never appreciated me in my face. I don¡¯t think he understood my choices." Ranbir further revealed that Rishi Kapoor was always worried about what he was doing.?
Recalling the time he was shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya, he said, "I remember on the 7th or 8th day of shoot of Saawariya, he came on set. Dad took me to a corner and asked me several questions, starting with 'why is it so dark here?' I said, 'Papa, it is a story of nights'. He said 'it is such a huge set but where are the people?' I said 'Mr Bhansali is trying a different style and it is just two of us walking on the street'. He asked 'why is this bridge so low and why are you bending down and going from the boat?'"?
