My father is my inspiration: Ranbir

MUMBAI:

In his four-decade career, Rishi Kapoor has tried various roles and has been appreciated for his work. Right now he is being applauded for his villainous avatar in Agneepath and his actor son Ranbir says his father is a wonderful performer and inspires him at acting.

“I am hearing such amazing stuff about my father and his performance in Agneepath. He has always been a wonderful performer. If a person is a good actor then he will deliver A good performance throughout his life,” Ranbir told IANS. “Today my dad is 55-plus and still he gets so many awards. Just by looking at his passion inspires me to do better work,” he added.

While both father and son are delivering incredible performances in Bollywood, one wonders when both of them will be seen together on the silver screen. When asked this question Ranbir stated: “If we get a nice script then we both will definitely work together. We haven’t got a convincing script yet.”

While Rishi Kapoor is riding the wave of success for Agneepath, his son has found a success story with Rockstar and is looking forward to continuing his lucky streak with Anurag Basu’s Barfee.

“Barfee has been in the news for quite some time. There are a few days of shooting left, and then I will start with Ayan Mukerji’s film from March 1. Barfee is a fun film. It’s a romantic comedy. It has me, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D’Cruz in it,” the 28-year-old actor said.

Barfee is expected to release in July this year.
