Ranbir Kapoor and on screen romance almost go hand in hand but his much awaited 'Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year' has no love angle. He says the film's protagonist is completely in love with sales.
"It is not a love story. The character Rocket Singh is in love with sales. It's a very simple movie," Ranbir told us.
This year Ranbir was seen with Konkona Sen Sharma in hit movie 'Wake Up Sid' and later teamed up with Katrina Kaif in romantic comedy 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani', winning the hearts of audiences.
And now comes 'Rocket Singh' in which he plays Harpreet Singh Bedi, who has just graduated with embarrassing marks. But that doesn't stop him from dreaming about an exciting career. Releasing Friday, the film has been made under the Yash Raj Films' banner.
This is the first film in which Ranbir's physical appearance has been changed for a role. He looks a typical Sikh youth complete with a turban and beard. "It was very important to feel the character first, later you automatically start living him," Ranbir said.
He said that director Shimit Amin and screenwriter Jaideep Sahni had held different workshops for the cast and the crew before starting the shoot.
"Shimit wanted to make the character as real as possible so that it doesn't look as if an actor is trying to be a sardar. Shimit and Jaideep held workshops for 30 days, not just with me but the entire cast and crew," the actor said.
But despite being a Punjabi, Ranbir's character speaks fluent Hindi. "He is Mumbai-based fourth generation sardar, so he has no influence of a Punjabi accent in his diction," Ranbir explained.
In real life too, Ranbir is half Sikh as his maternal grandparents were Sikh.
