Farhan and Ritesh said no to Gattu because Ranbir scoffed at them for agreeing to produce that movie when he rejected Kai Po Che.

Deepika, what don't you like about Ranbir?
The fact that you can't pin point what he is feeling or thinking all the time. At least that was my experience at the time when we were together. I couldn't really figure him out completely. I am not saying that he is not an emotional person or sensitive person. He must be but it doesn't come out and it's not visible. I wish he expressed more.

Who is more emotional between the both of you?

Ranbir: Not necessarily. It's just that I don't know how to express myself. I don't have an outlet yet. I don't know if there is something wrong in my brain as I have not figured myself out to express myself yet. I am still struggling with that. I don't know whether it is a mental disease or a handicap. I do feel things but don't know how to express or address it.

Deepika, over the years of your knowing him, has Ranbir changed in any way?
He has matured a lot. But in that maturity, I feel he has gone even more into his shell.Also, now he has a lot more clarity about his decisions and how he wants to live his life.

Ranbir, has Deepika changed over the years?
Yes, she has changed in terms of her level of confidence and her exuberance. There is a shine and aura that has now developed around her and that is something she deserves as she has earned it.

Ranbir also rejected Zoya's film calling Farhan a buddha. Did this happen before or after the KPC incident?

How dare he called Farhan, Buddha!

No, he rejected ZNMD because a. Farhan's role was better, b. he didn't want to share screen with Farhan.

what's the kai po che incident?

Before Kai Po Che


Referring to the uncertainties of the business and its ability to surprise even veteran players, William Goldman, the Oscar- winning screenwriter of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, had once famously said: "In Hollywood, no one knows anything." This is true of Bollywood as well.

The success of Kai Po Che has reinforced the fact that even successful stars and established producers can be wrong in their assessment of a script's potential. Director Abhishek Kapoor is being lauded for his decision to cast non-stars as his leads, but few are aware that he had, in fact, approached big actors for the film before having to settle for a relatively unknown ensemble.

According to industry sources, Imran Khan, Shahid Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor were all presented with the script. But each of them is believed to have separately said no' to Abhishek on the grounds that the story didn't convince them. Ranbir, in particular, who has displayed a knack for picking quality projects so far, not only turned down the film, but also allegedly told Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani that he was "surprised" they were thinking of producing the movie (Abhishek was originally developing the project for Excel Entertainment).


It is hard to tell how much Farhan and Ritesh were influenced by Ranbir's feelings when they finally decided to pass on Kai Po Che. Insiders say the truth is that the two were never comfortable with the script's final act, which revisited the Godhra massacre and subsequent communal riots of 2002.

Farhan later said both Ranbir and Imran called him a buddha and rejected the film. 😆Anyways Ranbir never does multi-starrers.
