Shammi Kapoor competes with Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar’s jugalbandi



It’s not frequently that you get to witness a veteran actor with his grand nephew, a leading Gen-X star sharing screen space for the first time.

Shammi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor will jam together for a scene in Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Rockstar’. As Ranbir Kapoor takes to the guitar; Shammi Kapoor will play the shehnai, personifying a clash of two generations in the crucial scene in the movie.

Veteran accepts, “In my younger days, I used to play the shehnai or would enact it to perfection so I think I can do it today also.”

Dedication runs in the family as Shammi Kapoor will shoot for the scene in spite of his weak health, whereas grand nephew Ranbir Kapoor went for a two month crash course in guitar lessons to get the nuances of the instrument perfect.

A source discloses, “In ‘Rockstar’ Ranbir plays a small towner with big dreams of becoming a rock star. The scene with Shammi Kapoor is a face-off scene where there is a jugalbandi between the modern generation that Ranbir represents and the older classical generation that Shammi Kapoor stands for. We expect the members of the Kapoor family to be present during the shoot of the scene.”
