Ranbir Kapoor to direct a movie that will star his actor parents, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu.

Ranbir Wishes To Direct Rishi And Neetu Now
Published on Sep 6 2010


Perhaps, Ranbir Kapoor is trying to chew more than he can eat, it is reported that he wants to direct a movie that will star his actor parents, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu. Rishi tells that his boy wants to repeat history as his father Raj Kapoor did by directing his father Prithvi Raj Kapoor.

Meanwhile, Ranbir’s idea was liked by Rishi, but mom Neetu is a bit adamant and she says that she has not acted for the past 30 years, so she wouldn’t prefer to act this time.

He adds, “Why me and Ranbir together? It has to be Neetu as well. Since my father Raj Kapoor directed his father Prithviraj Kapoor and him, Ranbir too wants to do the same.”

Ranbir’s idea is still in the pipeline and it seems it would take time to materialize as he is busy in shooting for his movie ‘Anjaana-Anjaani’ presently and several other projects are lined up for him.

But, the duo of Rishi and Neetu will be seen in first time director Habib Faizal’s ‘Do Dooni Chal’. Initially Rishi declined the director’s offer and told to take his son Ranbir instead.

Rishi adds, “When I suggested to Habib that he take Ranbir as the hero in his film, he said, ‘My protagonist is 54. Does Ranbir look that old to you?’ On second thought, I agreed to play the role.”

He also had to convince Neetu for the role and he adds and he tells that it was indeed a tough job as she was adamant for taking the offer.

Rishi adds what Neetu told him, “Are you mad? I haven’t acted for thirty years. Just because I agreed to do one shot in Love Aaj Kal, tum peeche pad gaye.’ I reasoned with her and convinced her finally.”
