ANURAG gives RANBIR a deadline for BARFEE

Anurag Basu gives Ranbir a deadline

The actor must start work on Basu's film on March 15. Question is, can he? Ranbir Kapoor, who is currently busy playing Rockstar will start work on his next role, the goofy Barfee, from March 15, in Darjeeling. Anurag Basu's much-delayed film will finally hit the floors on that date. In this film, Kapoor plays a deaf-and-mute character on screen, and will sing some of the songs that will be played in the background. Kapoor needs at least a month before he starts shooting for Barfee, but Imtiaz Ali's film, Rockstar keeps getting delayed. Now, even though a final date has been set for the shooting of Barfee, news of further delay in Rockstar is beginning to trickle in. What happens to the fate of Barfee then? Will Basu be able to wait any more? Says a source, "Ranbir is very clear that he will only start Barfee once he's done with Rockstar. He needs to completely revamp his weight, physique, body language and hair. For this he needs to finish Imtiaz's project before he goes onto Anurag's. Anurag has waited for more than year for his friend Imtiaz to finish Rockstar." "Now the producers UTV are getting impatient. Why should they wait indefinitely for the leading man to finish another project?"

Omg ugh Rockstar has been shooting for months now! It better be worth it! But Biru please...dont let Barfee go!!!!!!!

Thats OK.. but what about Priyanka who starts Agneepath about then..She has signed so many films...Is Iliena a big star in south?

^Hmmm good question! But these people are pros at this so im sure they'll figure something out!

Plz let barfee (the title is even worse than 'prince') go. Bollywood most of the time doesn't handle sensitive issues well....and characters that are handicapped, are exaggerated. Also I hate how just because a character plays deaf-and-mute, or a prostitute in films somehow automatically elevates the performance and it makes it more real. 😕

No no Biru....work as hard as you can for Rockstar...he's working like hell...you can see it....can't wait for Rockstar...but both Ranbir and Imtiaz are perfectionists and they really want everything to go well....so if they're delaying it then there must be a reason...

LOL Barfee love that name!!!!!!

imtiaz is good in making romcom..
