Ranbir Kapoor on “Raajneeti” and more

Ranbir Kapoor is entering politics...on-screen though. The Bollywood heartthrob is eagerly waiting the release of “Raajneeti,” his first serious film. “Raajneeti” has been directed by acclaimed helmer Prakash Jha.
In a recent interview Ranbir talked about the much-awaited film, a rumour regarding his reluctance to work with Shah Rukh Khan and more. Excerpts from the interview:
Should people watch “Raajneeti” because of Prakash Jha or Ranbir Kapoor?
Ranbir: In this film there is action, romance, drama, emotion, comedy, tragedy... and there is Katrina Kaif. Do we need any other reason for watching the film!
You have come out of your typical look in the film...
Ranbir: When Prakash Jha wrote this character he had a certain idea that this is the way the character should look. He told me that it's not about looking glamorous.
This guy (my character) studies abroad… Prakash Jha wanted me to wear glasses. He is not into politics but from a political family. I didn't want to look serious in the film... the specs are making me look like that.
Media buzz says Nana Patekar pestered you a lot on the sets of “Raajneeti”. True?
Ranbir: Not at all. Nana Patekar was never after me on the sets. Sometimes there were misunderstandings due to miscommunications, but we used to sort it out through talks. That is a common thing between people who are close to each other. By the way, let me tell you, he cooked the most amazing dishes like bater, jungle chicken and keema for us on the sets.
This is your second film with Katrina. There's been rumour of your relationship with her...
Ranbir: Katrina is a very, very dear friend. The entire team of “Raajneeti” is really proud of what she has done in the film.
Did you refuse to work in a Karan Johar film because it also had Shah Rukh Khan in it?
Ranbir: Not at all. It will be my honour and privilege if I get an opportunity to work with him (Shah Rukh Khan). I have no problem working with Shah Rukh Khan or any star.
So, are you approaching directors on your own, or offers are coming to you?
Ranbir: No, I can't speak for myself; I have never done that. Like I said, it must be blessings from my family and the good fortune that I got to work with such big filmmakers, I have not approached anyone.
But if I were not a part of “Raajneeti,” after watching the film I would have gone to Prakash Jha and said, “Why the hell did you not cast me?”
