Ranbir Kapoor to do 'Awara' Remake?

Here is rumour floating that Ranbir Kapoor might do Epic 'Awara' film of yesterday legend and his grand father Raj Kapoor. Rishi Kapoor and his son Ranbir are getting ready to step into Rishi's grandfather Prithiviraj and father Raj Kapoor's roles in Awara. And with the remake, the Kapoors' home banner RK Films would be revived. Rishi lets out the big secret plan with Ranbir, "Besharam was the testing ground for the two of us together onscreen. We would now like to do something deeper. A remake of my father's Awara is on our minds. And in all likelihood we will be doing it for our banner RK Films."

Rishi won't direct the neo-Awara. "No thanks. Direction is a thankless job. I don't want to get into that space at all. I am very comfortable and happy as an actor. I am having a ball." Rishi is currently going through the most fruitful phase of his entire 44-year career as an actor. He quips, "It's intentional. I wanted to prove myself as an actor. Log bol rahen hain ke Ranbir Kapoor achcha actor hai. Yeh bhool gaye ki Rishi Kapoor bhi actor hai. They say Ranbir is Raj Kapoor's grandson. They've forgotten the a generation that came in-between. Hello, knock knock... I am not going away anywhere yet. I didn't want Ranbir to be called a chip off the old block. I wanted that I should be known as a chip off the new block. Today loads of work is coming my way. I'm at liberty to pick and choose." Besides acting,

Rishi also enjoys being on 'face-time' with his grand-daughter. "If I raise my voice calling her name she gets scared. If she sees me playing these baddies, she'd stop talking to me. Jokes aside, I didn't play a villain in recent films because I wanted to be bad onsceen. I did them because they were interesting." Rishi has seven releases in 2013. He couldn't be in a better personal space either. "I've started doing yoga. That gives me peace of mind. I am unhappy that I can't kick my habit of consuming alcohol. That's one thing I'd like to change. I'd also like to cut down my weight. But my producers get worried about the continuity in their films. 'Please finish my film and then lose weight,' they say. Uss chakkar mein nahin ho raha hai."
