Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor are getting ready to step
into the former’s grandfather Prithiviraj Kapoor and father Raj Kapoor’s roles
in an “Awara” remake.
And with the remake of “Awara”, the Kapoors’ well-known home
banner RK Films would be grandly rejuvenated.
Before that Rishi and his talented wife Neetu would be seen
on the screen for the first time with their son Ranbir in Abhinav Kashyap’s
“Besharam”.
Rishi let out the big secret plan for the great histrionic
plan with Ranbir and told, “‘Besharam’ was the testing ground for the two of us
together on the screen. We would now like to do something deeper. A remake of
my father’s ‘Awara’ is on our minds. And in all likelihood, we will be doing it
for our banner RK Films.”
Rishi won’t direct the neo-”Awara”.
“No thanks. Direction is a thankless job. I don’t want to
get into that space at all,” told Rishi, who went behind the camera for “Aa Ab
Laut chalen”.
“I am very comfortable and happy as an actor. I just want to
act. I am at peace with myself. I don’t have to think about anything except
acting. I am having a ball. I’ve received loads of messages for my performance
in ‘Aurangzeb’. I can’t be happier. The best most touching message came from
Mrs Pam Chopra. I’ll treasure it forever,” told the 60-year-old.
As far as “Besharam” is concerned, one now hears that
Rishi-Neetu’s roles are being broadened so that the audiences don’t feel
cheated by the playing-time featuring Ranbir with his parents.
Rishi told, “Both Neetu and I enjoyed working with Ranbir
thoroughly. I had fun working with my wife and son. But I still feel there
should be more of Neetu and I in ‘Besharam’. My only grouse in this
otherwise-enjoyable experience was the length of our roles and Ranbir knows it.
So they’re trying to expand our roles. Neetu and I play cops. Our characters
are seen off and on.”
“The director is trying to increase Neetu and my roles. Of
course, Ranbir and I have scenes together in ‘Besharam’, including the climax
of the plot. But they’re trying to create scenes where all three of us can be
together,” told Rishi who gave hits like “Khel Khel Mein” and “Kabhi Kabhie”
with Neetu.
Rishi tells his earlier doubts that Ranbir may be
uncomfortable sharing screen-space with him, were totally unfounded.
“‘Yeh aaj kal ke bachcha nahin baap hain’. In any case,
‘Besharam’ is not a movie that requires great histrionics from either of us.
It’s light, bubbly and frothy and a little dramatic,” he told.
