Ranbir Kapooris entering Nitesh TiwariIt’s Ramayana, sticking to its approach to the actor and the role.Calling Ranbir one of his favourites, Tarun revealed that he cast the actor in his play as part of his preparation.“Ranbir Kapoor is my favourite, and so is my wife’s favourite. He came to watch our show at NCPA with Alia Bhatt, her mother Neetu Kapoor and her friend Ayan Mukerji, just for preparation. Imagine how seriously he takes his profession,” Galatta told India.
‘Looks don’t matter, emotions do’
Reacting to the controversies surrounding Ranbir’s look as Lord Ram, Khanna dismissed such controversies.“These things are exaggerated — how it looks and all that — meaningless. In the end, there’s only one thing that connects with people: real raw emotion,” he said.He added, “A film works when there’s an emotional connection. If that doesn’t happen, you can spend millions, but the film won’t work.”
It calls the initial negative
Tarun also addressed the negative comments about Ramayana, especially comparing it to Adipurush.“People are already saying that so much money has been spent and the film will not work. Why spread negativity? Why say it will be another Adipurush?” he saidHe noted that such narratives affect not only the stars but the larger crew. “It’s not just Ranbir Kapoor, there are many people whose livelihood is attached to a film.”
“Ranbir is among the best of this generation”
Praising the actor further, Tarun said, “He’s one of the best actors of our generation in the last 20 years. Such a great superstar, such a fine actor, I’ve never heard a debate about him.”He criticized the attempts to cast the actor even before the release of the film. “The film hasn’t been released yet, and people are trying to put it down.”
“VFX don’t make a movie work”
Discussing the film’s scale and VFX, Tarun said that technology alone cannot guarantee success.“The film doesn’t work because of the VFX. It works because of the emotion. If the emotion is right, the film will work. If it’s not, even if you shoot it on the moon, it won’t work,” he said.
Ranbir, Alia went to her show
Tarun also remembered Ranbir along with Alia Bhatt and Neetu Kapoor during his performance at NCPA in Mumbai.“We talked before the show. But they left about five minutes before the last scene, because otherwise the audience would have surrounded them. Their group quickly took them out,” he said.
