Ranbir Kapoor on taking a 6-month paternity break to be with daughter Raha

Actor Ranbir Kapoor, whose film ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’ is all set to release in theatres on March 8, talked about how his ‘life has come full circle’ and now he’s waiting for the long impending paternal leave in a recent interview.

He also mentioned that ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkkaar’ will be his last romantic comedy as he is ‘getting older’. The actor has earlier starred in films such as ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’, ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’, ‘Jagga Jasoos’, and ‘Besharam’, to name a few.

When asked what brings him back to rom-coms, Ranbir says that it’s probably because the Luv Ranjan directorial is a ‘true blue rom-com’ as other films that he did earlier didn’t feel ‘complete’.

‘I think I got lucky (with Tu Jhoothi Main Makkkaar), finally life has come full circle that I’m a part of a true blue rom-com. I think all the rom-coms I’ve done in my career, it felt short of really feeling like a complete film. Luv (director Luv Ranjan) and I used to discuss what is the feeling that we want to give the audience, we want to give them a warm and happy feeling in the cinemas, we want them to have a great time, laugh, feel romance, get emotional, take some learning and at the end leave the theatre with a very warm and nice feeling. I love that feeling when I go to the theatres, we’ve really tried to give that feeling to the audience and we’ve succeeded. We’re really proud to be a part of this rom-com,’ said Ranbir.

He also emphasised on the need to deliver ‘quality content’. Ranbir said, ‘People know that this is a very hard profession and it requires a lot of hard work, sacrifices and a lot of luck. So everyone is trying out there and I think a little bit of support from the media would be lovely; it goes hand in hand. So, it kind of (upsets) you sometimes but there are highs and lows, films will start doing well and people will forget it and nobody will remember this ‘hashtag boycott Bollywood’ and other things that have been happening. So I think we just have to deliver on content, make good films and the audiences are waiting as they love cinema. So when you have a good film coming out, people flock to the theatres to have a great time. That time is going to come soon and more films are going to do well.’

Ranbir is also shooting for Sandeep Vanga Reddy’s ‘Animal’.

The actor had shared that he wants to go on paternity leave after the birth of his daughter and now he can’t wait to take the impending long break.

‘In two months time. I’m looking forward to it. I think I’ll have a good five to six months of absolutely no work and just be in a blissful state. I’ll be done with Animal by the end of April, and then I’ll take a long break to spend time with my daughter,’ he said.
