Akshay Kumar did it in Nikhil Advani’s Chandni Chowk to China.Now, Ranbir Kapoor plays a Sardarji in Shimit Amin’s next film for Yash Raj. The role play is that of a young Sikh who goes through a series of incredibly bitter-sweet incidents, which eventually leads to an explosive state of self-realisation.
Says a source, “Everyone presumed that after the stupendous success of Chak De India and given the fact that both Shah Rukh and Shimit knew each other long before the film, the pair would team up again for the next venture. However, certain important sections at Yash Raj gave the thumbs down to Shah Rukh, as they felt he would not look convincing as a Sardarji. They instead insisted on a younger actor (as the character is starting out in life) who’s also a Punjabi, for authenticity.”
Recently, when Ranbir checked out his new look with the turban, the result, according to insiders, was spectacular. “Even Shimit is now convinced that Kapoor is the right choice to play the part,” reveals the source further.
