Ranbir Kapoor on promotions for his film ‘Shamshera’ is part of a three-part promotional episodic series called ‘RK Tapes’. The actor, in the episode, is seen looking back on his childhood and shares who he idolized growing up.
Ranbir can be seen sitting in Mumbai's iconic Liberty Cinema as visuals of Big B and SRK's films play on the big screen in the background. "Main Amitabh Bachchan banna chahta tha. Jawaan hua, tab Shah Rukh Kha banna tha aur finally Ranbir Kapoor banna pada” said the actor. He went on to share his obsession with film while growing up. He explained how when he became an actor, he wasn't actually choosing the kind of films his idols chose. So, the '12-yr-old Hindi film obsessed Ranbir's dreams' haven't been fulfilled yet, he said.
The actor also shared that his late father and legendary actor Rishi Kapoor told him that his films are good, but they will not make him a national star. Elaborating on how he loves his idols Big B and SRK, Ranbir concluded by saying, "If I can be even 2 per cent of the heroes they are then my life will be set."
Ranbir’s upcoming film ‘Shamshera’ is set to release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on 22 July 2022.
