Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, who did a bunch of rom-coms early in his career, is returning to the genre with his upcoming film 'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar'. He will be seen sharing screen with Shraddha Kapoor in this Luv Ranjan film and during the trailer launch event of the same, he stated that pulling off a rom-com is way difficult than portraying intense characters like in 'Rockstar' and 'Sanju'.
Ranbir said, Itâs very hard, rom-com is the hardest genre. When you give me a character like Sanju or Rockstar, youâre hiding behind a character. Thereâs a certain paraphernalia around you to work with. But these rom-com parts are very hard. Iâm just insecure that I donât run out of a personality, so I can still keep delivering some entertainment through the genre.â
Sharing why he didn't do many rom-coms in last one decade, Ranbir said, After Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani why didnât I do a another rom-com? Because itâs the most difficult to make. Rom-coms tend to become slightly westernised. You shoot in New York so you feel youâre making a rom-com. But rom-com is in the writing. Luv and Rahul both are extremely fine writers. Thereâs no strategy behind it (not doing another rom-com) but if I had continued to do similar films then the excitement fades away.â
Talking about director Luv Ranjan, Ranbir said, I called up Luv Ranjan after I saw Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2. I loved the film and said Iâd love to collaborate with him on a movie. Later we met and brainstormed on ideas. We had even launched a movie with me and Ajay sir. Months later Luv narrated this idea to me and since then we have become good friends.
