Thank God. How I have missed ranbir giving interviews. He always sounds so intelligent. Damn he always blows me away with his charm his wit and just him entirely. Please ask him to give more interviews where the questions are also picked up from the fans on internet. We need to hear hour long videos of him talking. It really is just never enough listening to him. But seriously thank you for this interview. Loved every bit of it.

@@bhattchaitali5772True and also aging is normal it happens to everyone but tbh I really dont understand why people call him old. Maybe in this interview but Like just this month I saw some pictures of his clicked and he looked like someone in the mid 20s. People always need something to say bad about him. He is great ❤❤❤❤❤

He is so sensible when he talks. Guys do not judge him for his personal life. He is a gem of an actor and that's what that matters. Period.a well conducted interview. Thank you so much sneha

I noticed that ranbir continued to talk about rishi ji in the present tense and not in the past tense as the interviewer mentioned in the video. That is so lovely. It is quite heart touching. And he really will always be here. His memories will always be here not just with ranbir but with all of his fans. Love you rishi ji. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@aniketde357]

ranbir gives off a very ed norton vibe- in a good way! he's not somebody who's constantly in the limelight, clearly doesn't care about being much of a star, and is a great actor. I think he'd be great in an indian Fight Club adaptation- it'll certainly be an inspired casting choice!

[@planettalk]

So true! He's always reminded me of someone but I couldn't put my finger on it, till reading your comment 🙂

[@Hello-kh6bk]

Ed Norton??

[@supertrooper4353]

While everyone is appreciating Rishi Kapoor's legacy (and rightly so), can we also please take a moment to appreciate Paresh Rawalji's selfless dedication to this role? He really helped bring this picture home knowing full well it will always have Rishiji's name written on it. This is a testament that there are some actors out there who do this all out of love for the craft.

Ranbir is so well spoken i look forward to his interviews so much but wished he did more 🤍

At some point in the interview rk said that there is nothing for him to give more interviews. And that we've been hearing for 15 years and that his answers are boring. That is so wrong.

@film companion, I totally admire the great performance by Mr. Paresh Rawal and great Rishi Kapoor. This is not the first time this experiment is done. In one of Marathi movies "Matichya Chuli" an actor who performed the role of father passed away midway through the shoot(Mr. Sudhir Joshi). And then another actor stepped in and completed that movie.( Mr. Anand Abhyankar) They both were great great actors.

Continuing the film with another actor due to demise of an actor is something that Mahesh Manjrekar has done long back in his Marathi film, "Matichya Chuli". It was done well. People appreciated the movie for the story and looked at the character and not the actor.
