During the interview, Ranbir shared that after watching his film Barfi, Rishi had some scathing feedback. “He was very harsh. I remember even when he saw Barfi for the first time he called me. I am always nervous when my father called me after a film. He told me, ‘Haan tu acting achi kar leta hai (You act well) but don’t do artsy films next time’,” said Ranbir as he recalled his father’s words.
Rishi Kapoor passed away in 2020 after a long battle with cancer. At the time, his last film’s shooting was incomplete. Initially, the producers considered roping in Ranbir and using prosthetics and make-up on him to complete the film. Eventually, Paresh Rawal stepped in and finished the film.
