Director Sanjay Gupta, who has just wrapped up the shooting for Kaabil starring Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam, has apparently started prepping for his next. In a recent interview with DNA, the director confirmed a few details regarding his next film.
When asked if the director has any dream actor that he wishes to work with, Sanjay said, “If you are asking if there’s an actor I am dying to work with then I will say yes, and his name is Ranbir Kapoor but only because there is that one script I have for him which I have never narrated to anybody and I won’t narrate it to anybody except him. If I make it, it will be only with Ranbir because I have written it keeping him in mind. I cannot imagine anybody else playing that character.”
When prodded further regarding the same he said, “It’s wholesome drama of the Raj Kumar Hirani kind. You cannot call Raju’s films comedies. It has a beautiful title called Bigde Nawab and it’s a brilliant story. When I saw the title song of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil my heart just screamed — look at this guy and the honesty in his face. He is feeling that song not just singing it. Like when you are working with Hrithik Roshan, he is living that scene — it’s that sincerity as an actor. It’s all about presentation.”
