Also turns make-up man on the sets of impromptu promo shoot for Barfi!
He’d studied filmmaking at The Lee Strasberg Film Institute in New York before assisting Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Black (2005). So it’s not surprising that Ranbir Kapoor’s directorial instincts came to the fore at a shoot for his upcoming film, Barfi!
Ranbir Kapoor shows off his make-up skills at the video shoot
On Tuesday, after launching the promo of Anurag Basu’s film, Ranbir was
supposed to fly to Argentina for a schedule of Ayan Mukerji’s Yeh Jawani
Hai Deewani. But suddenly, the Barfi! filmmakers decided to shoot a
short video to drum up hype for the film on the Internet.
“Being a professional, Ranbir postponed his trip. And since a
digital media agency, not Anurag (Basu), was handling the shoot, Ranbir
turned director, makeup man and creative head for the project. Since he
is the star of the film, he understands the character inside out. And
given that Anurag wasn’t around, Ranbir took it upon himself to keep an
eye on things,” says an insider close to the film, adding, “Everyone was
amazed to see his natural eye for detail. In fact, his inputs in the
make-up department also came in very handy.”
Shikha Kapur of Disney UTV, the producers of the film, confirms: “When we decided to create an online promotional video, we were excited to see Ranbir at his best. His inputs have helped create an interesting video.”
Set to release on September 14, the film will see Ranbir playing a deafmute boy while Priyanka Chopra will portray the role of a mentally-challenged girl.
