Ranbir REACTS to VVC's Statement about his CHOICE of films
Expressing his DISAGREEMENT towards Vidhu Vinod Chopra's statement, Ranbir Kapoor says...
Ranbir admits that he isn't "working in movies to put a roof on my head or have my next meal. He says: "I am a part of it because of my passion. I understand the position I am in today and the platform that I have been given. In fact, I am very grateful for it. I have a lot of gratitude, especially since even after certain failures; filmmakers such as Rajkumar Hirani and Ayan Mukerji still want to work with me. Also, I am very happy with the films that are offered to me. So, I am in a very happy and positive place in my life.
Would he be a little more careful about his film choices now? "Not really. I mean that way even Sanju to start with was risky as it's a biopic on Sanjay Dutt. Also, what Ayan (Mukerji) is trying to do with Brahmastra makes it a risky' film as well. So there's nothing sure shot in this industry, unless you are Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, or have reached a certain place (in career) where the audience loves you (a lot).
Even as Sanju becomes one of the biggest money-spinners ever in Hindi cinema, Ranbir feels it's important for him to have successful films to his credit. "Audiences don't love me [personally]; they love me in films. So the next few years are very important and critical for me because I have to really consolidate a strong fan base. That's why it's important that I make some good and successful films right now, says the actor, adding that his next few films will help him "amass a fan base that will support me in my failures as well as successes even after 20 years, if I continue to act till then.
