Karan: Ranbir & Rishi Ji’s personalities on set are on different tangents

Karan Malhotra has the rare distinction of having directed both Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor in separate movies. He worked with late Rishi Kapoor in ‘Agneepath’ while he directed Ranbir in ‘Shamshera’. While speaking to ETimes, he revealed both the differences and similarities between father and son. Karan said, “I think their culture of acting is very similar. But their personalities on set are on totally different tangents. It’s like the North Pole and South Pole.”
Elaborating further on the difference between late Rishi Kapoor and his son Ranbir, Karan said, “Chintu uncle was a very flamboyant, loud, out-there and confrontational person. Ranbir is the complete opposite of that. Ranbir is happy-go-lucky. He does his masti quietly. He’s happy with himself as well as indifferent.” Recalling the experience of working with Rishi Kapoor, Karan said, “I had so many fights and arguments with Chintu uncle while shooting Agneepath. And I would not want to forget that whole experience with him for a single moment because I cherish it so much. I really miss that aspect. He would always challenge me and make my conviction stronger. With him, it was like arguing and fighting with your parents. Woh gaali bhi dete the, dhakka bhi maarte the (He’d swear and even push me) and would say pagal ho gaya hai tu (you’ve gone mad). We used to be at loggerheads often.”

Having pointed out the differences, Karan also spoke of the commonality between the two gifted actors. He said, “The similarity between Ranbir and Chintu uncle is that they both surrender to the vision of the film and the filmmaker. They will not try to screw that up. That is their biggest quality.” He further added that both Rishi and Ranbir gave him exactly what he wanted from them, further adding, “At times they gave me even more than what I expected. They never worked for themselves. There could have been so much drama on sets, because both were such big stars. But they were professional and they worked for the film.”
