Karan Johar and Ranbir Kapoor are all set for the release of ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’. The movie will hit the silver screens on October 28
th. The film has been in the news for a very long time for all the wrong reasons, but finally found its way to the theaters after being on the verge of getting banned due to the cross border controversy. Here are some of the interesting revelations KJo and RK made in a candid chat:
Ranbir Kapoor was asked how different was it to romance Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on-screen:
He said, “When you meet Aishwarya, her eyes glitter. She doesn't have to try; she doesn't have to do anything, yet, at the same time, she does a lot. The first time she walked onto the set, I asked Karan, 'What should I do? Should I go and say hello to her?' I didn't know how to approach her.”
Karan on the other hand said, “There was so much build-up about Ash coming on set. To me, it felt like she is the only star in the film. I am not undermining my love for Ranbir and Anushka (Sharma), but when Aishwarya walked in, I was like OMG... one star has finally come on the set.”
When Ranbir was asked which one is his favorite Karan Johar movie:
Ranbir: “'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'. Of course, it sounds like a selfish answer, but honestly, the reason for me being an actor is Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar's films. I was in the 7th grade when I saw 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', it was at the time when you are getting interested in girls and you want to flirt with them. In my head, I had embodied the character of Rahul. I bought the cool pendant and the polo neck tees. We thought that the world of romance and how to woo a girl is like this. When 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' released, I was studying in New York. I went for the first night show in Times Square, the theatre was packed and I had to sit on the floor.
Here’s what KJo said when asked his favourite movie of Ranbir’s:
“'Barfi'!. I had a cardiac arrest while watching that film. I was weeping more than the entire cinema put together. There was like this Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswati coming out of my eyes. I was moved by his performance in the film, and I loved the entire cast and Anurag Basu's work. There's a reason that I didn't watch 'Besharam', I knew he wouldn't be good in it. I don't want to watch a bad Ranbir film. I have not seen it and I turn it off even now when it comes on TV.”
When Karan was asked what he thinks of Ranbir getting in direction:
“Not at all. I don't want him to direct, he is too good an actor, why stand behind a camera when you are so brilliant in front of it. There's no reason”
