Title: Ranbir is ‘atta’, he’ll be ‘phulka’ no matter how moulded: Indira
Ranbir Kapoor is one of the most versatile actors in the Indian film industry, known for his incredible range and ability to adapt to any role. His co-star in the upcoming film “Ramayana”, actress Indira Krishna, recently praised his talent, saying that he’s like ‘atta’ (flour) that can be moulded into any shape and will always come out as a ‘phulka’ (chapati).
Indira, who has worked with Ranbir in two films, “Animal” and “Ramayana”, has seen the actor’s incredible versatility firsthand. “He’s like atta, you can mould him in whichever way and he will come out like a phulka,” she said in an interview. “The rowdiness that he had in ‘Animal’ and to present the divine [lord Ram] in ‘Ramayana’…was a complete contrast for Ranbir.”
Ranbir’s ability to transform himself into any character has been a hallmark of his career. From playing a charming and carefree youngster in “Wake Up Sid” to a intense and brooding lover in “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, Ranbir has consistently impressed audiences with his range. His performance in “Barfi!” as a deaf and mute boy, for instance, was widely praised and earned him a National Award.
Indira’s analogy of Ranbir as ‘atta’ is particularly apt, as it highlights the actor’s ability to be shaped and moulded into any role. Just as flour can be mixed with different ingredients and cooked in various ways to produce a wide range of dishes, Ranbir can be directed to play a wide range of characters, each with its own unique characteristics. And just as a phulka, made from atta, can be cooked to perfection and served with a variety of accompaniments, Ranbir’s performances can be tailored to suit any genre or tone, from comedy to drama to action.
Ranbir’s willingness to take on diverse roles and experiment with different characters is likely due to his passion for acting and his desire to constantly challenge himself as an artist. In an industry where repetition and formulaic storytelling are common, Ranbir’s willingness to take risks and push the boundaries of his craft is a breath of fresh air.
Indira’s praise for Ranbir is also a testament to the actor’s ability to connect with his co-stars and directors. In an industry where personal relationships and chemistry between actors are crucial, Ranbir’s ability to build rapport with his co-stars and adapt to different directing styles is a key factor in his success.
Ranbir’s upcoming film “Ramayana”, in which he plays the role of lord Ram, is a testament to his versatility as an actor. The film, which is an adaptation of the ancient Hindu epic, requires Ranbir to play a character who is both divine and human, with a range of emotions and actions. The fact that Indira, who has worked with Ranbir on two films, is impressed with his ability to adapt to the role is a testament to his incredible range and versatility.
In conclusion, Ranbir Kapoor is indeed like ‘atta’, a versatile actor who can be moulded into any shape and will always come out as a ‘phulka’. His incredible range, adaptability, and passion for acting make him one of the most exciting and talented actors in the Indian film industry today. As Indira so aptly put it, “He’s like atta, you can mould him in whichever way and he will come out like a phulka.”
