Guess who is getting lucky this September? It is none other than the Kapoor ladka who has struck gold. While everyone knows that actor Ranbir Kapoor is a huge sport fanatic, he is particularly very fond of football. He is passionate about the sport and his favourite team is Barcelona FC.

Incidentally, the die-hard football fan was also appointed the Indian brand ambassador for Barcelona FC, the football club recently.

Not just that, Ranbir was also one amongst those millions of football lovers who was present at the Wembley stadium for the UEFA Champions League.

Incidentally, Barcelona had also won the cup this year and now that their star player Lionel Messi is coming down to India, Ranbir has already fixed his date with the star.

Messi will don the captain’s armband for the first time as Argentina plays a friendly match against Venezuela at the Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on September 2.

Ranbir is currently shooting for Anurag Basu’s Barfee in Kolkata and has already booked his tickets for the match. A source from the sets says, “Anurag and Ranbir both are very keen to watch the match and have already decided and booked their tickets. They are die-hard fans of the football club and are super excited to meet the star player”.

The actor who had the opportunity to meet Messi earlier told reporters at a press conference, “I had the good fortune of meeting him recently. He signed his jersey for me and I got couple of pictures with him. I am coming to watch the game only as a fan. I am a big supporter of football and I hope that people come and watch it too.”

The 28-year-old actor too vehemently argued that his team was definitely better than football club Manchester United. “It will be great for football as a sport in our country when the big stars come in and I hope that it does something for this sport. We all know that Barcelona is a much better team and also the UEFA champions.”

However, if you thought that you would see them in a film, then you’ll have to wait some more. But for the time being, they’ll entertain you on the small screen as they get together for a television commercial. 

According to an industry source Ranbir Kapoor is thrilled about the opportunity and is looking forward to sharing screen space with his father. If sources are to be believed it’s a drink commercial, and Rishi and Ranbir have already started shooting for it.

Buzz has it that the young Kapoor is taking active interest in the post-production of Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Rockstar.’ It is believed that Ranbir is genuinely concerned about the film and takes active part in its music sittings, following the footsteps of his seniors, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

Apparently, Ranbir takes part in the editing of ‘Rockstar’ with Imtiaz Ali. Talking to a daily, a source said, “The editing of ‘Rockstar’ is happening at the producer`s Astavinayak’s office and Ranbir is regularly seen at the office where he is taking part in the editing of the film. The film is extremely close to his heart and he does not want anything to go wrong in the film. He has also struck an amazing rapport with Imtiaz and both of them are always seen having long creative discussions at the Astavinayak Andheri office. Ranbir has also decided that he will take active participation in the marketing and promotion of the film as well.”

Ranbir is so much into gadgets that he has taken a subscription of a multitude of major technology and gizmo magazines. Apparently the actor has special interest in new phones, tablets and different applications. (We know he owns a iPad and a Android tablet)

What is more, Ranbir also keeps himself updated on the launch of new products by surfing the internet and makes it a point to notify his friends and acquaintances about the new products in the market. It does not matter whether or not you are interested in getting enlightened about the improvements in communications and information technology. Ranbir will make sure that there is no ignorance as far as technology is concerned!

On behalf of all the Ranbir Kapoor fans around the world and here at Ranbir-Kapoor.com, we wish him a lot of success for Saawariya.

Did you always want to act?
I always wanted to do something related to films. For a long time, I was debating between acting and direction. However slowly and gradually the feeling crept in that I want to act.

So whom did you tell first: mom or dad?
I don’t think I ever really told anyone. Everyone sort of expected it. It came out during a routine conversation at the dinner table. When I told them, both my parents said, “We always knew that.” So I never really had to tell them.

And how did you go about preparing to become a Hindi film hero?
Well, I went through the mandatory diction, dance and horse riding classes. I also did a two-year course at the School of Visual Arts in New York and studied acting at the Lee Strasborg Film Institute. Then I came home and assisted Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Black.

But at the back of your mind you wanted Bhansali to cast you in his next film?
(Laughs) Well that thought was there at the back of my mind. I’ve always been a Bhansali fan. When I was studying in America, I got a few acting offers but I always harboured the dream of working with Bhansali. So I flew back home, made a resume and went to his office to apply for the post of an assistant director for Black. Of course I was hoping he’d see me and tell me that he wants to cast me in a film. And believe it or not but when he met me, the very first thing he told me was that he sees an actor in me. Destiny stepped in at the right time, I guess.

Are all those stories of Bhansali being a tyrant on the sets, true?
It’s all made up. It’s true that he is a genius and a perfectionist. It’s also true that he expects the same level of passion and perfectionism from his team. Films come before his life. So he wants to make sure whatever he is doing is the best he can do. He never shouts without a reason.

So you admit he shouted at you?
Oh yes, plenty of time. And I’m very grateful to him for that since today whatever I know about acting is because of him. He’s truly my mentor. We spend a lot of time together, go out for dinners and films and every time I learn something from him.

From what we can see in the promos, you dance well. Did the jazz and ballet training came in handy?
It’s true that I’ve been trained in jazz and ballet but I didn’t really perfect the dance forms. I’m really not a good dancer. If you like what you see then the credit should go to Mr. Bhansali because he’s a genius in shooting songs.

Which actor do you think dances the best?
My dad (Rishi Kapoor) and Hrithik Roshan.

Speaking of your dad, which is your favourite Rishi Kapoor film?
Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hai.

And your favourite Raj Kapoor film?
Shree 420.

Is it true you were very scared of your dad when you were growing up?
Yes I was quite petrified of him. He was very strict about a few things, like he used to insist that I eat green vegetables. I didn’t really get to know him when I was growing up because he was very busy. But once I started assisting him during Aa Ab Laut Chalen , we really bonded well. Every night after pack-up he would take me to fancy restaurants. He’s quite adventurous in checking out new cuisines and that’s something he has instilled in me.

What’s your co-star Sonam Kapoor like?
I’ve known her since we were kids. Her grandfather and my grandfather were friends, our parents are friends so we ended up being friends by default. I never imagined that we’ll make a debut together but I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and loving co-star than Sonam. There is nothing materialistic about her. Sonam is all heart.

Was it awkward to work with Salman Khan in Saawariya especially since you had a famous brawl with him a few years back?
There is no truth to that story. I love Salman to death. He treats me like a younger brother. The whole incident is hogwash. I never got a chance to give my side of the story. The fact is that Salman and I never fought.

Have you prepared yourself for the intense media scrutiny that an actor’s life involves?
Well it’s not something that comes easy. It hurts when people write lies about you. But my mom (Neetu Singh) has been very supportive. She always tells me to keep a cool head. I guess, eventually I’ll get used to it.

So what’s the status with you and Deepika Padukone?
I knew her as a friend, that’s all.

You used the past tense, are you guys no longer friends?
We’re not in touch these days. I guess she’s busy promoting Om Shanti Om while I’m busy with Saawariya.

You’ve earned a reputation of being a party animal. Is it a fair one?
Actually no. I’m a homebody. I admit that there was a phase when I was totally into the party scene but now I’ve mellowed a bit.

Recently when you made an appearance on Star Voice of India, girls kissed you on your cheek. How was it?
(Laughs) It was quite heartwarming actually. An actor always dreams for a moment like this to happen, you know, one day when you come out and girls queue up to kiss you but when it really happens then it feels quite surreal. But it was nice.

What was immediate reaction when you saw yourself on screen for the very first time?
I couldn’t believe it was me up there. I pinched myself and spoke to my mom.

Confession time. Is it true that you drop the towel in a scene in the film?
Well, you’ll see that when you see the film. I’m not going to say anything beyond this.

Ok then another confession, is it true that you still get pocket money from your mom?
Yes that’s right. I get Rs 1,500 per week. What to do? I’m still not earning so I have to survive somehow.

I’m sure it helps that you don’t have to pay the rent?
(Laughs) You bet. Thank god for small mercies.

What does stardom mean to you?
It means nothing to me. It’s just the work and the journey towards stardom that matters to me.

Saawariya in one word?
Krishna.

The double event has triggered speculation in the Indian media about which one is going to be a bigger hit.

Kapoor dismissed this as “mindless comparison” in an interview with The Indian Express newspaper.

“I’m no one to be compared with him (Shahrukh Khan),” he said. “I’m starting my career and he’s the star.”

Kapoor also has to live with his family’s reputation in the field of acting. His grandfather Raj Kapoor was one of Bollywood’s most successful filmmakers and actors and his parents, Neetu Singh and Rishi Kapoor, were established stars in the 1970s and 1980s.

He said his parents were nervous about his debut, but he was confident he would not let his family down.

“My grandfather is my idol, but I am not him,” he said. “It is an honor when people compare me with him, but I think it is not right.”

With SAAWARIYA slated for release next Friday, there’s talk that Bhansali is planning to revive BAJIRAO MASTANI, which he had announced a few years ago. There’s also talk that he’s planning to start a film on the famed Heera Mandi of Lahore. The grapevine is also abuzz that the film-maker is planning a love story again, with freshers heading the cast yet again. “I am not revealing anything right now… Honestly, I haven’t decided what my next move would be. I cannot think of anything till SAAWARIYA releases,” he smiles.
