And there’s fine reports for all those girls, who desire for Ranbir. The actor will be participating in a double part in the movie the very first time ever.The movie is a sequel of a Telegu film a period film set in the seventeenth century.

Reincarnation is the style of the movie and actor is ready to perform an historical role in the Hindi edition of the Telegu hit. The film will likely be directed by SS Rajamouli.

Bollywood actor  Ranbir Kapoor has never been one to dole out favours to his family. Many from within the Kapoor family as well as those linked with the Kapoors long to have him in their movies, but Ranbir remains elusive. Ketan Desai is one filmmaker who has been waiting for Ranbir to give a nod to his next movie.Ketan is the son of late filmmaker and producer Manmohan Desai and is the son- in- law of yesteryear actor Shammi Kapoor.

According to reports, Ketan wants to cast Ranbir for his next project. But Ranbir has said that at this period of his career, he will not take up a film unless it boosts his career.”Not only is Ranbir Kapoor one of my favourite actors, but he is also extremely focused in his work,” Ketan has said.The filmmaker added: “I have seen a couple of scripts, but none are right for Ranbir. I am scouting for something that would be at par with his calibre.”

Desai feels both Ranbir and his cousin Kareena have kept the Kapoor tradition alive. Strangely though, he has no intention to approach Bebo for his forthcoming films

Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor will share screen space in the Hindi remake of Bengali film, ‘Autograph’.In the movie, Shahrukh Khan will be seen in the role of a fading actor and Ranbir Kapoor a young director. In the original version, actorof Bengali cinema Prosenjeet has played the lead part. Directing by Srijit Mukherjee and produced by Madhu Mantena.

Mantena doesn’t deny the remake plans. “I think the era of remakes from regional languages into Hindi is back.We just need to make sure the regional flavour is not lost in Hindi. Ghajini was a smash-hit Telugu to Hindi remake. I am talking to at least five major Tamil-Telugu blockbuster directors about making their own films in Hindi.” But the transition has to be complete.

“As much as we would have liked Prosenjeet to play the celebrity in the Hindi adaptation, it won’t work

Although Anurag Basu is going all out talking about his forthcoming movies Silence and the biopic on Kishore Kumar — both of which feature Ranbir Kapoor in lead roles — the fact of the issue is that Ranbir Kapoor is no longer eager to do either of the movies, particularly after he saw the fate of Kites which was Basu’s previous venture.Our source said, “Ranbir Kapoor was supposed to begin Silence previous this year.However, it is yet unclear and no statement has been made by Ranbir about doing the film. Although Basu claims that the casting is in progress, none of the actresses seem to be coming forward to sign the movie.

Basu is just giving interviews so that the movie remains in the news which is odd behaviour, coming from a talented director like him.Also, Ranbir is showing no signs of allotting any dates and the film is far from underway.”So will Ranbir Kapoor break his silence and talk about the movie he is doing or in this case, not doing

Ranbir  and Deepika might be taking unpleasant potshots at each other on TV shows but the two just can’t seem to get over each other. At least the Kapoor lad appears to be having a hard time moving on, for he is time and again dropping outside Dips house asking for an viewers with her. And this is despite the fact that Deepika has moved on and is now in a very public relationship with Vijay Mallya`s son Siddharth.According to sources, Ranbir went to Dips house at 12.45 am. The actor was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.

Even though Ranbir insisted that he wanted to meet her, Deepika was in no mood to let him in. Consequently, the guard on duty did not permit Ranbir to go 2nd floor.But adamant as Ranbir was, he kept convincing the guard that he should let him go and meet Dips. Confirming the news a source told a daily, “But rules are rules in Cozy Home Apartments. No outsider, however big or familiar he may be, is allowed without the permission of the person he is visiting. The guard stuck to his duty like a genuine soldier.”Left with no choice, Ranbir started calling Deepika.

Giving an account of the incident an eyewitness said, “Ranbir was overheard telling Deepika, `Please allow me to come up. I am sorry. I want to explain.`”However, after much drama Deepika allowed him in, but not before Ranbir had to wait down in the compound for a good half-hour

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor wishes to direct or not, is not yet known, however, his mother and yesteryear actress, Neetu Singh is definite that her son is able to direct his own movie.”I’m surprised about his maturity as an actor! When I was his age, I knew nothing. I simply did whatever came naturally to me. Ranbir knows about camera angles, shot-taking and frame compositions. He is ready for direction.
And yes, I really hope to be in his directorial debut with his father,” said Neetu about son’s unexplored talents.The talented actress revealed this and more while talking to media at a promotional event for her upcoming film ‘Do Dooni Chaar’, in which she will be seen in a full-fledged role after a long time.
The film is directed by Habib Faisal, is all set to hit theatres on Oct. 8 and will see Neetu opposite her actor husband Rishi Kapoor in the movie.

Chak De India may have released one and a half years back but its director Shimit Amin is yet to get his next film on floors. While it is confirmed that Shimit, who had started his career as a director with a gritty Ab Tak Chappan, will be making his next with Yash Raj Films, there has been uncertainty around the cast of the film.
While rumour mongers have already announced the cast with Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan sharing the frame, this is far from true.
Says a source attached to the film, “These are all baseless rumours. Mischief makers just make up a cast and start announcing it all over. Now they want the world to believe that this yet untitled film would bring Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan together. Agreed that both are hot in the industry circle today and bringing them together would be a casting coup of sorts. However, it isn’t happening for sure with this film.”
Monica Bhattacharya, Yash Raj Films’ spokesperson, too sets the record straight, “Shimit’s next stars Ranbir Kapoor and that’s the only truth to the story. When people write something, they don’t even bother contacting the right channels. So let me put this on record that Imran Khan is not a part of this film.”
Apparently, the search for the leading lady of the film is still on with no name being finalized opposite Ranbir. “That’s true”, says Monica, “Yash Raj Films is yet to close on the heroine for the film.” She isn’t willing to divulge much on the film’s plot either. “There isn’t anything that can be declared now. When the time is right (with Yash Raj Films releasing their yearly calendar), we would know what this film is all about from both the genre and the plot perspective.”
Talking about the production house’s calendar for 2009, it is surprising that the dates for their next few films are yet to be announced.
“Yash Raj Films started the trend of announcing not just the title and the cast of the film but also the exact date. They have always stuck to it as well. Yes, they have delayed it a little this year but that’s ok. They don’t want to announce any random date and then rollback at a later stage. You would soon hear from them, at least before the first quarter of 2009 comes to an end”, says a source who wished to be unnamed.
However, it is confirmed that Shimit Amin’s film would soon go on floors. “The shooting would begin soon and the film would be released before the end of 2009?, signs off Monica.

Ranbir Kapoor Ranbir Kapoor is set to play a confused NRI in a film to be directed by Mani Ratnam. Even as Ratnam shoots for his film ‘Raavana’ with Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai in the south, the talented director has zeroed down on the script for his next. Written by Rensil D’Silva, the movie is based on the theme of identity crisis faced by an NRI. Ranbir Kapoor has been approached to play the role of a young, outgoing Indian in London who is torn between his Indian values and western lifestyle. It’s a story of coming of age of a youth trying to get a clear perspective of life. Ranbir is in contention for the role and he has, in all likelihood, already bagged it. Other starcast of the untitled film is yet to be finalized. Ranbir presently has two interesting projects in his hands – Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Wake Up Sid .
Shooting of Ratnam’s film is likely to begin in the middle of 2009.

Ranbir Kapoor has decided to give up smoking as a b’day gift to girlfriend Deepika. Deepika Padukone couldn’t have had a better beginning to 2009 and her birthday yesterday. A source close to Deepika says, “Deepika didn’t like Ranbir’s smoking habit. As an advance birthday gift, he promised her that he would give up smoking for her. From January 1 this year, after being a smoker for years, Ranbir has completely quit smoking. Lots of people tried to make him quit but they didn’t succeed. Now he has given it up for Deepika.” The actress is proud of the fact that the Kapoor lad has not lighted up in the last five days.”
The source continues, “The best thing is that she never nagged him about smoking. She accepted him the way he was but Ranbir realised that she didn’t like his habit, as she was always uncomfortable when he smoked around her. So he made a resolution to quit. It’s a big decision for him and even his mom (Neetu Kapoor) doesn’t know that her son has kicked the butt.”When quizzed about being together Deepika says, “I don’t like talking about my personal life. All I will say is that Ranbir keeps me very happy and secure.” Deepika had a quiet birthday with her parents yesterday. She went to Siddhivinayak Temple followed by a quiet dinner with boyfriend Ranbir in the evening.
“My parents and sister was with me last week during Christmas and New Year’s but my sister had to attend a tournament, so she flew off on Saturday. I never like celebrating my birthdays much. But I do make it a point to go to Siddhivinayak. It’s been a great year for me and 2009 looks even more promising.She adds, “It’s been a wonderful birthday this year. I couldn’t have asked for two better gifts. Also I am leaving for the premieres of Chandni Chowk To China all over the world. Nikhil Advani has taken the film to a whole new level. The most exciting thing is that the film will be premiered at the Warner Brothers Village in Los Angeles.”
