Ranbir Kapoor unleashes sales pitch for Rocket Singh.
Bollywood Hot Bold Actor Ranbir Kapoor walked the red carpet last night for the world premiere of his latest upcoming film Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year and peddled his comedy with charm and brevity. Kapoor plays a fresh college graduate — an underachiever — grappling with his first job as a salesman.
Addressing a press conference earlier in the day, Kapoor said he was proud to be part of a film which was a departure from the run-of-the-mill Bollywood musicals. The film is one of the star attractions of the Dubai International Film Festival.
"Rocket Singh: Salesman Of the Year is not your quintessential song-and-dance film. It's an honest film made with lots of sincerity. We have tried to keep away from the formulaic stuff and it is realistic," said Kapoor. But he is quick to add that the film is not serious or brooding in nature. The Bollywood blue-blood — who hails from the powerful Kapoor dynasty — has enjoyed a phenomenal year with hits including Wake Up Sid and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. Touted as the next-best-thing in Bollywood, Kapoor says his career decisions are dictated by his gut instincts.
"I don't have any method or formula to choose roles. If I am convinced that the director has an interesting story to tell, then I go by my gut instincts," says Kapoor.
Meanwhile, the film also brings together the hit pair — director Shimit Amin and writer Jaideep Sahni. Their previous outing Chak De! India turned out to be one of the biggest hits of 2007.
Challenging project
Known for his no-frill films, director Amin admits that making Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year was a challenging project.
"It was difficult to make a film without the usual song and dance. It was difficult to make a film stripped off the commercial elements.
"Very often, Bollywood films showcase the latest fashion or styles of wedding dresses for Indians living abroad," says Amin. The director was referring to the trend of Bollywood musicals that were a melange of Indian festivals and romance.
