We caught the actor sporting a stubble and dressed in street-smart gear on the sets of Abhinav Kashyap's next
MUMBAI MIRROR (January 25, 2013)
Ranbir Kapoor has often said that he longs to essay a kind of role that has people dancing in the isles and greeting him with catcalls. Perhaps which is why he signed up for Abhinav Kashyap's Besharm, which according to reports, is about a street-smart guy, who is ready to take on the rough and tumble of a life 'on the run from the law' with style. Gives you a sense of dj vu? Well, given that Dabangg was his baby, one can expect Kashyap to bring a certain kitsch-coolth to his next as well. Something that endears his characters to the masses and does not turn off the classes either. When Mirror lensman Raju Shelar trained his eyes on Ranbir in Film City the other day, he caught the actor dressed in the kind of gear that anyone who has walked the skinny alleys of Delhi would be familiar with.
The set too was reminiscent of the capital where wide roads wind off to gutters and swank cars make way for two-wheelers. There was also a life-like Delhi Metro site recreated for the audiences.
Besharm also stars Ranbir's parents Neetu and Rishi, who incidentally plays a Hariyanvi cop, while newcomer Pallavi Sharda plays the female lead.
