Vineet Kumar Singh talks about Ranbir Kapoor.
Vineet Kumar Singh, enjoying the success of Chhaava, recently said he was surprised to get a call from Ranbir Kapoor, who praised his performance in Anurag Kashyap’s Ugly. He initially thought it might be a prank and checked to confirm it was real.
In a chat with ABP Entertainment, the actor recalled, “I like Ranbir Kapoor’s work. When he watched Ugly in 2013, I got a call and the person said, ‘Hello Vineet, main Ranbir bol raha hun.’ I instantly thought that I don’t have any friends named Ranbir. I said, ‘Haan, kaun?’ Ugly hadn’t even released till then, but he watched it. I couldn’t believe it when he said that I am Ranbir Kapoor. In the last 13 years, nothing of that sorts had happened.”
He continued, saying he thought his friends were just being playful and one was pranking him. “I thought that my friends are quite naughty and one of them was pulling a prank on me. I said again, ‘Kaun hai, bata de bhai?’ Then it got confirmed that it was him only. Then we talked for quite a while. He said so many good things about Ugly.”
Vineet Kumar Singh admired actors who are humble and acknowledge the work of others. He said, “It is a beautiful thing when one artiste acknowledges the other. Main kya hi dedunga Ranbir Kapoor ko? Koi zaroorat nahi thi unhe mujhe yeh bataane ki, so this is a good gesture. Whenever I feel that he has done great work in any project, I always tell him. We have that mutual respect for each other.”
On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor has finished shooting for Ramayana Part 1. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film will star Sai Pallavi as Sita Maa and Yash as Raavan. Ranbir is also currently filming Love and War with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
