Ranbir Kapoor finally opens about his highs and lows that came in his 15 years old career, calls failure of Bombay Velvet his lowest phase of career.
Kapoor revealed: "I am the kind of personality which is balanced. I have never felt very high or very low. My mother, with every film, keeps shaking me and asks 'are you happy? are you sad?' Because I don't express too much. I don't feel that high or low. But I think my lowest was when Bombay Velvet (released). It was a celebrated disaster."
"I couldn't understand anything. I thought accha film flop hogayi. 1 week passed by, and I was getting 100 messages (sorry, we are with you) and till the 2nd week, I was still getting messages. Jab 3rd week mein, I kept getting messages - that's when I started questioning ki kuch bohot bada gadbad hogaya hain. Otherwise, I have not felt it.”
He went on to say: “I am very confident in my art and very confident as an artist. My intention is to be a good actor. Stardom will come if my work is good. So I am not really chasing stardom. Right now, I am chasing good work. I feel I am concentrated in my own direction. Other than that, all the frills will come and go. That's fine. I just hope that I get to work with good filmmakers, good actors and good writers and get good music. That is what I am concerned about."
On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor is looking forward to the release of upcoming rom-com film Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar opposite Shraddha Kapoor. The film is directed by Pyaar Ka Punchnama director Luv Ranjan, reports Indiatoday.
