When Ranbir Kapoor Asked Karan Johar, “I Know We Are Screwed, But How Screwed Are We?”
Ranbir Kapoor is quite candid when it comes to talking about his failures. In an interview to a leading tabloid, Jr. Kapoor shares an instance where he and Karan Johar knew that they are in trouble but there was nothing they could have done about it...
Ranbir Kapoor is making
headlines with his latest release, Sanju. The actor has finally tasted success
after back to back failures in the recent past (Jagga Jassos, Tamasha, Bombay
Velvet).

In a candid interview with
Mid-day, Ranbir has spoken about the debacle of Bombay Velvet and how Karan and
he knew that they are in major trouble with the film, after they watched it.
“When Karan [Johar] and I
saw the film, a year before its release, we sat in the car and the first thing
I asked was, “I know we are screwed, but how screwed are we?” Karan said, “Too
screwed!” Ranbir said recalling the day he and Karan watched the
film.

When asked what the
thought process was after realising that the product has not come out the way
they had expected it to, Ranbir replied, “Even if you know, you live on hope
that maybe audiences will like it. I was shooting Wake Up Sid and Ajab Prem Ki
Ghazab Kahani simultaneously. Ayan's Wake Up Sid had a cool, young vibe. Ajab
was being directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, who comes from a certain generation.
All his ADs were older than him. I thought Wake Up was my 'Titanic'. It released
in August, made R40 crore, got me credibility. And then I was wary of Ajab,
thinking my career would be over after that. Katrina always told me, “You're
stupid; it's going to be a success. You should stand by it.” When it released,
it did double the numbers. That's when I realised that as a Bandra boy, who
goes abroad to study, I don't know what India, or Indian cinema, is. This
industry doesn't have a fixed formula.”
Well, we appreciate
Ranbir’s honesty!
