Ranbir returns to Charlie Chaplin & Raj Kapoor in Santoshi's film
By Subhash K. Jha, April 5, 2008 - 11:26 IST
If Ranbir Kapoor is being seen as the true inheritor of the Kapoor legacy, it is with reason. In his debut film Saawariya a major part of Ranbir's personality was patterned on Raj Kapoor. And now Raj Kumar Santoshi who sees a special spark in the Saawariya star is getting ready to take Ranbir's acting ancestry to another level.
In Santoshi's Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani Ranbir plays the melancholy lover-boy hopelessly in love with the idea of being in love. The character was immortalized by Raj Kapoor in Mera Naam Joker and before him, Chaplin in City Lights. Ranbir in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani plays 'Prem' a true inheritor of the two imperishable heroes from the past. Says Santoshi, "I decided Ranbir was the right actor for my film from the time I saw Saawariya. He plays Prem an innocent guy with a heart of gold. Yes there will be distinct elements of Charlie Chaplin and Raj Kapoor, though not too much of it. Raj Saab has already done it all in Sri 420 and it would look repetitive. Also, that level of political and sexual innocence would look odd in present times. Let's say Ranbir plays the Charlie Chaplin and Raj Kapoor of our times."
Santoshi fondly recalls the experience of working with Ranbir's father. "In my Damini Rishi Kapoor played a really difficult role…of a man caught between his duties towards his family and society. Though Rishi didn't have an author-backed role in Damini, what a beautiful job of he did." Ranbir on the other hand not only has the title role in Ajab Prem… his character also gets to go through a series of life-changing experiences. "Ranbir takes interest in every aspect of the film. He's a keen student if cinema. His enthusiasm for cinema goes much beyond his role. I know I'll enjoy my shooting with him. But beyond that I'm right now enjoying interacting with him," adds Santoshi. In the next two months, Santoshi will be doing a first-look photo session between Ranbir and Katrina Kaif. "We'll also be sitting on the costumes because the clothes are a very important part of the story. We start shooting the film only when Ranbir returns from his long foreign schedule of the Yashraj Film," informs Santoshi.
Being a full-on love story Pritam is doing the music score of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. "I've been watching Pritam's growth as a musician. And I can't think of anyone else for this project," says Santoshi who has earlier worked with the likes of A R Rahman.

Santoshi will begin shooting Ranbir-Katrina starrer tomorrow
By Subhash K. Jha, June 18, 2008 - 11:15 IST
Raj Santoshi is a very happy man. Belying all rumours of a fall-out with Ajay Devgan, Raj Santoshi is all set to make another film with his favourite actor. "We're just about to zero- in on the subject. It's a contemporary film, not the two period films on Emperor Ashok and the Ramayan that we were planning to do together. Those are on hold right now. For now Ajay and I are getting ready for another film, though I'll definitely make Ramayan and Ashok with him. But we haven't fallen out just because a couple of our films together haven't clicked. That's not how we work."
For now Raj is on another trip. "I'm finally starting Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani with Ranbir and Katrina from tomorrow (Wednesday). It's my first love story, though people seem to think it's an intense love story, which it is not. It has lots of very light very humorous moments. I haven't worked with Ranbir and Katrina before. So I'm really looking forward to that."
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is to be shot in Mumbai (from tomorrow) then Goa and finally Italy. "A lot of elements in Ranbir's character will remind people of his grandfather Raj Kapoor. I've worked with Ranbir's father in Damini. When I saw the boy in Saawariya I wanted to work with him immediately. Katrina and I were supposed to do a film that had Shahid in it. That didn't work out. This is a totally different subject." Ask the director about Ranbir's reported remuneration of Rs 7 crores, and Raj shrugs. "That's between Ranbir and the producers Tips."
Oh one more thing. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani also stars Upen Patel. "It's a pivotal role. Upen expressed a desire to work with me. We met up. When I narrated the subject he fell in love with it. I'm working with an entirely new team including music composer Pritam.

What a professional 'That is between Ranbir and the producer, Tips' Thank God there is some of them left! Most directors try and defend the star when it is none of their business.
As for the genre. Sounds great! People have finally started valuing light hearted script and thanks to Jab We Met they have realised that for a movie to be flawless and captivating it doesn't need to tackle a controversial subject or a out-there genre.
Thanks for the info Sara! I shall be doing the whole break coconut thing tomorrow for the movie! hehe..jokes.

Now that you mention it, he is rather annoying. And Siddhu and I have a long held 'dushmani' with him haha....
Ranbir shouldn't tell us when his movies are releasing, just drop them on us :D That way there is not pain in waiting hehe..
