Ranbir Kapoor's Thoughts on Film Remakes

During an engaging conversation with director Rahul Rawail, Ranbir was asked about his views on remakes, particularly about any of Raj Kapoor's films. While the actor expressed a general reluctance towards remakes, he acknowledged that if he were to reimagine one film, it would be Shree 420.

"I don’t believe in remakes, I believe a film is made to the best of its capabilities and you should not touch it, especially Raj Kapoor’s films. But I would love to have a take on Shree 420, like I said it’s my favourite film," Ranbir stated.

Despite his interest in Shree 420, Ranbir also mentioned Sangam, another Raj Kapoor classic, as a film he might consider reinterpreting. Shree 420, a 1955 black-and-white film, remains one of the most beloved movies in Indian cinema, with its memorable songs and powerful performances.

Influence of Raj Kapoor's Cinema on Ranbir

Ranbir, who comes from the renowned Kapoor family, also reflected on how Raj Kapoor's films have shaped his approach to acting and filmmaking. He spoke about the impact of Jaagte Raho(1956), a film that deepened his understanding of cinema.

The actor also shared his desire to direct one day, admitting that while he hasn't yet ventured into direction, the aspiration remains strong. "My grandfather directed, acted, produced, wrote, and edited a film called Aag at the age of 24. I'm 42 today and I still don't have the courage to direct a film. But I'm waiting for a story to come because a director should make a movie only if he has a story to tell," he revealed.
