Ranbir Kapoor gets emotional paying tribute to his father late Rishi Kapoor at Brahmastra motion poster launch, ‘I miss my father terribly today’
“I miss my father terribly today” shares Ranbir Kapoor at the launch event of the most awaited film ‘Brahmastra’. The actor alongside Alia Bhatt, and director Ayan Mukerji were prior in Delhi for a happy event to launch the first motion poster of the film.
During the occasion, the actor was seen getting emotional as he remembered his fond memories with Papa Rishi Kapoor who had passed away last year. Talking of the same, Ranbir shared how his father was looking out for him when he first signed the film. “I remember during the making of this film, during these last how many ever years, he kept fighting with Ayan and me, and kept, questioning us ki ‘what you doing, who takes so long to make a film, who spends so much of money? Ranbir you’re not making one penny on this film, VFX film kaun dekhega India mein? India mein koi VFX film nahi dekhta.’
He then continued, “But I believe he’s here somewhere. I hope he’s proud, I hope he’s smiling. And just to pay a small tribute to him, if you guys know it, please join me.” Ranbir then, at that point, proceeds to echo Rishi Kapoor’s iconic dialogue ‘Kya tumne kabhi kisise pyaar kiya?” as the crowd responds to him with a loud ‘Kiya’! As he concludes the line, he looks up and sends a kiss.
In ‘Brahmastra’ Ranbir Kapoor will portray the role of Shiva, and is said to be a man with supernatural powers. During the movie’s motion poster preview, director Ayan Mukerji had shared, “I know the term superhero gets used with the film a lot because it is sort of in that genre. But in my mind, it is not a superhero film. It is a fantasy adventure epic. It is a modern mythology piece. Shiva is closer to a modern representation of a deva than a western superhero. He is a normal guy who is born with certain energy within him.”
