In a recently emerged clip, actor Ranbir Kapoor heaped praises on actors Sanjay Dutt, Shah Rukh Khan and Ranveer Singh. In a new video shared by Yash Raj Films on Twitter, Ranbir spoke about how villains in the history of Hindi cinema have been loved and remembered as much as the protagonist.
“They say in a fight between good and evil, it’s the good that always wins. Jo haar k bhi logo ka dil jeeth le use Baazigar nahi villain kehte hai (The one who wins heart even after losing isn't the gambler but the villain),” Ranbir said. The video then featured Ranbir talk about villains and how in several movies the villain is more celebrated than the hero.
The clip titled ‘RK Tapes Episode 3 The Villain’, Ranbir spoke about how Gabbar Singh became more famous than Jai and Veeru in ‘Sholay’, how ‘Mr India’s Mogambo snatched the limelight and Kancha Cheena dominated in ‘Agneepath’.
Ranbir talked about actors taking up negative roles, "Shah Rukh said KKK...Kiran and registered his name in one of the most iconic roles as a villain. All the villains in the ‘Dhoom’ franchise stunned everyone, it's unbelievable. In ‘Padmaavat’, Ranveer Singh made Alauddin Khilji so terrifying, that even after the film ends, the character stays with you.”
"And what do I even say about Sanjay Dutt? I think he's one of the best villains in recent times. The ultimate khalnayak (antagonist), who's coming back as a villain in Shamshera. A part of me is envious, I'd have loved to do that role. Mera sapna raha hai ki main bhi negative role karun aur log apne bacchon se kahe ki 'soja beta warna Ranbir ajayega' (My dream is to play a negative role and then people scare their children using my name).”
The video ended with Ranbir saying, "I'm looking forward to the bad guys we are yet to watch to the actor who'd scare us out of our seats and to the villains that will redefine evil." The video was shared with the caption, "All about villains. Watch #RanbirKapoor talk about his favourite villains in RK Tapes - Episode 3 - The Villain. Shamshera releasing in Hindi, Tamil & Telugu. Celebrate #Shamshera with #YRF50 only at a theatre near you.”
On the work front, Ranbir will be seen next in ‘Shamshera’, where he will essay his first double role. The movie is scheduled to release on July 22.
