Going places!
Apparently, Ranbir is the highest paid one-film actor for whom even Yash Raj had to revise their pay scales
SUBHASH K JHA
Ranbir Kapoor is going great guns. His forthcoming films will have him playing different characters. After his debut film Saawariya, he is playing a casanova in Siddharth Anand's Bachna Ae Haseeno. In Rajkumar Santoshi's Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani he is playing an intense lover boy. In Shimit Amin's Rocket Singh Salesman of the year, he plays Rocket Singh, wherein he is preparing to perfect the look, body language and lingo of a young sardarji.
Meanwhile, Ranbir has reportedly also said yes to new projects with Mani Ratnam, Prakash Jha and a Karan Johar film with a debutant director. Besides this, Ranbir has supposedly inked a deal with Tips for Rs 8 crore, the highest fee ever commanded by a one-film-old actor, though nobody is confirming it. Reportedly, even the frugal fee-payers Yashraj have revised their earlier pay scales and paid Ranbir his full fee for the two films that he's doing for the banner.
However, just in case one gets the feeling that Ranbir's spiraling career is all about illustrious banners and the zeroes on his pay cheques, here's the heartwarming twist in the tale. The young star has also given a nod to a novice director Vikramjit Singh, who is Ranbir's childhood buddy. The film, Mera Jahan, is slated to be a social satire, far removed from romantic escapism of Ranbir's other assignments.
Says a source close to Ranbir, "When Vikramjit decided to make a film, Ranbir happily said yes. He's very clear about his priorities. He'll be as professional as it gets with the industrywallahs, but when it comes to friends there's little that Ranbir won't do to accommodate them."
