Kat-Ranbir's sizzling chemistry
HARSHADA REGE , TNN 21 October 2009, 12:00am IST
He's 'fun loving' and she's 'a person loving fun' - that's how Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif describe each other.
The two come together for the very first time in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani that's produced by Ramesh Taurani for Tips Films , directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and releases on November 6. The crackling chemistry between the two is for everyone to see as they get talking about the film.
Katz takes the lead, saying, "It's an ordinary love story about ordinary people leading ordinary lives, but told in a very unusual way." Ranbir adds, "That's the perfect way to describe it." The two are on a roll pulling each others' legs, but at the same time, they seem pretty much in sync. So what's the secret behind the chemistry? "Chemistry is not something that two individuals have, it's what two characters have in a film. And it's great that people are seeing this chemistry because this is a romantic film. I am happy that people can see it even in the promos of the film," says Ranbir.
Katz agrees with him, "If you want the same thing and if your vision is the same, then you are working as a team. That's something that leads to great chemistry." Obviously, they had a great time shooting together. "Katrina was constantly bullying me and I was constantly complimenting her," says Ranbir, tongue-firmly-in-cheek.
The two actors also bonded well because of their working styles. "Rajji is very specific as a director. He knows exactly what he wants and he gets his actors to do that," Katz says. "But that doesn't mean he's a dictator. If we thought a scene could be done some other way, he would hear us out. We did get bound script and dialogues, but there were improvisations on the sets too," adds Ranbir. Like Santoshi's earlier comic caper Andaz Apna Apna, this one too looks like a mad comedy. Speaking about the film, they say that its USP is that it will appeal to a much wider audience. "It's a blast, really.
A complete entertainer," says Ranbir. "It's a meant for everyone. The appeal is, definitely, wider and it's something that people across all sections will be able to relate to," feels Katz. But both feel that it's not just another run-of-the-mill comedy. It has a lovely story, it's not just a bunch of jokes put together," says Ranbir of this ghazab kahani by Tips on which they had fun working with Ramesh Taurani.
