Mumbai, Nov 1: Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor wants to do an out-and-out negative role.
“I would want to do an out-and-out negative film. I want to play with characters, I want to explore myself. People ask me if I want to do an action film because action films are in vogue. I would definitely do one in some time, but not when it is being followed as a trend. I will do it when I feel it is the best time for me to get into such a role”, reports source.
“I hope I can grow with every character I do. I want to be the biggest star. I want to be the best actor and I feel I am on the right path. I have been fortunate that I have worked with such talented directors,” said Ranbir.
Undeterred by negative talk, he says, “I am happy with my growth and the way my career is shaping up. People have tried to pull me down with negative reviews and never-ending rumours. But that doesn't affect me at all now. I have become numb to such stories. I have learnt how to detach myself. It doesn't bother me or my peace of mind.”
When asked about his role in Rockstar, he said: “I play a Jat boy from Delhi, who lives in Pitampura. He studies in the Hindu college and plays the guitar. It is not about music, it is a love story where music is incidental…people tell him that to get the best out of you, you should go through a heartbreak. So, deliberately he falls in love….”
Essaying a jat boy was not a cakewalk for Ranbir as he couldn't find a common connect with his character.
“My character comes from a different stratum of society. He is somebody whom I haven't met in my life. So it was very hard for me to get into his skin. So I went and spent a lot of time with a Jat family in Delhi. It was very important for me to observe them, to pick up certain nuances,” he said.
Though he plays an aspiring musician in the film, Ranbir lacks the art in real life and would like to exercise his vocal chords some day.
“Music is the purest form to reach millions of hearts and it has always been on my side. It is a disadvantage that I can't sing. My mother tried that I get a hold of it, but my teachers also confessed that I can't. It's one of my aspirations that I would want to fulfill. I would want to lend my voice someday,” he said.
