Bollywood new comer wants to step into direction to revive his grandfather’s R K Films’ flagging banner.

Neetu and Rishi Kapoor’s son Ranbir Kappor says: “I’m passionate about being a director. I’ve lots to say. And I hope audiences accept me as a director as much as they have as an actor.” 

Raj Kapoor would love his enthusiasm. For Ranbir is clear that his home production will be a celebration of cinema. “It will bring a smile to the face, a tear to the eye, that RK Films was famous for,” he promised. But Papa Rishi might not find a spot in it. “We get lots of offers to act together, and I’d love to share camera space with him, but Dad’s busy with several acting assignments,” Ranbir revealed. 

Comparisons with Rishi, that Prince of Romance in the action era of angry young man Amitabh Bachchan and he-man Dharmendra, are unavoidable. But Ranbir said, “I’m not making a conscious effort to walk in my father’s footsteps, though he’s my favourite actor and I don’t mind being compared with him. But I don’t act or dance like him, I want to be myself on screen.”

Rishi, Neetu, Ranbir together in a film
Debutante director Habib Faizal has signed veteran actor Rishi Kapoor to play lead hero in his film 'Do Dooni Chal' and Rishi agreed on a condition that Neetu Singh will play the lead actress. After much persuasion, Neetu agreed to be a part of the project. Their son and actor Ranbir Kapoor has a dream. He wants to direct a film that would have his entire family. He wants mom and dad to be a part of his project.

Ranbir at the same time feels that directing his father and mom will be a mammoth job. Reasons Rishi, “I am not doing any father-son film with Ranbir. They’ve been done to death. We’ve both been approached to work together. But either he rejects the script or I do.”

This time, Ranbir wants to produce and direct his film. Says Rishi, “Since my father Raj Kapoor directed his father Prithviraj Kapoor and himself, Ranbir too wants to do the same.”

It would be a treat to watch father, mother and son acting alongside
