Ranbir Kapoor will reportedly play his son in
Karan Malhotra's next movie.
According to our sources, Sanjay Dutt has
been approached by Karan Malhotra to play
Ranbir Kapoor's father in the film, he is
directing for YRF.
We had earlier reported exclusively that
Karan has signed a three-film deal with YRF
and his first project will have Ranbir in the
lead role.
Director Karan Malhotra has directed some
interesting films such as Agneepath (2012)
and Brothers (2015). Besides, Ranbir's last
film with YRF was Rocket Singh: Salesman of
the Year (2009).
Meanwhile, as per an entertainment
website, Vaani Kapoor has been finalized as
the lead actor opposite Ranbir Kapoor in the
movie. Vaani Kapoor has a three-film deal
with Yash Raj Films with Shuddh Desi
Romance and Befikre being two of them.
Vaani has also signed Sidharth Anand's next
with Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff.
Ranbir Kapoor has returned to Mumbai after
wrapping up a schedule for Ayan Mukerji's
Brahmastra. The film also stars Alia Bhatt
and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles.
Ranbir took sword-fighting, horse-fighting
and dancing lessons for the film. The fantasy
film is set to be a trilogy and the first part
will be hitting the screens in 2019.
When a leading daily asked Ranbir about
Brahmastra, the actor said, "Well, it's not
really a superhero film because the word
superhero' comes with a preconceived
notion about it. The film is, as Ayan puts it, a
magical romantic fairy tale set in
contemporary times.' It's got a great cast too
with Alia Bhatt and Amitji (Amitabh
Bachchan) in the film. Other superb actors
are also being cast in it. It's a film that has
been written in a trilogy format so there will
be three parts, which Ayan will make over a
period of eight years. It's also very exciting,
and risky at the same time because it's
something that has never been tried
before."
