Ranbir Kapoor has not ‘understood’ Rishi Kapoor’s loss yet: “I think the loss of a parent is always the biggest low in a person’s life”

During the chat show, Ranbir Kapoor said that he is yet to process the loss of his father, the late Rishi Kapoor. The veteran actor passed away in 2020 after a prolonged battle with cancer. Speaking to Nandamuri Balakrishna, Ranbir shared, “I think the loss of a parent is always the biggest low in a person’s life. So when I lost my father a couple of years ago… I don’t think I have still understood the loss. Because you know being a son… since the time you are born, you are always taught to be strong. You don’t express and say much. So I don’t know if I have really expressed my father’s loss yet to myself or to my loved ones.” Ranbir admitted that the loss of his father not only “matured” him but also made him “more responsible” in life.

In Animal, his character has a tumultuous relationship with his father, played by Anil Kapoor. Talking about the same, Ranbir added, “There is a very strong father-son emotion. And I think that was the base that I really connected with. While growing up, I was not very close to my father also because my father… My relationship with my father was how his relationship was with his father. There was a lot of love and respect but there was distance.” He added that “somewhere all father-son chemistry in India is a bit dicey. I really connected with that part of the story.”

Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar’s T-Series, Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios and Pranay Reddy Vanga’s Bhadrakali Pictures have backed Animal. The film, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is in the crime drama genre and is set to release on December 1, 2023.
