Ranbir Kapoor Wants To Do Negative Roles

 

Ranbir Kapoor wants to play the baddie, but the star of movies like “Rockstar” and “Barfi!” says no director is ready to accept him in such a role.

“I would love to play a negative role, something that is like an anti-hero. Something without guitars, rose and without a heroine. I have been asking this for quite a long time, and I hope the directors are hearing me out and come out with scripts like that,” the 30-year-old told IANS.
“I think the time when films like ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and ‘Lagaan’ came into being, that was the period when we noticed the slight switch in storytelling. I think cinema has kind of evolved after that. Also, I think every hero was playing the same character over three to four years in the past, but right now there is so much diversity in characters,” said the young hearthrob from Bollywood’s famous Kapoor family.

“There are so many challenging roles now. There are more stories to tell. Back then, there were more society problems (in films). Now, we have wider things to make,” he added.
Of late, Bollywood has seen a lot of remakes – the latest being “Himmatwala” and “Chashme Baddoor”. But Ranbir doesn’t care much for remakes.

“I don’t believe in remakes and so far I haven’t done it. I never say never, but golden films can never be made again. I am very happy with the kind of original work that is going around in the industry,” he added.
