Boney Kapoor Reveals He Agreed To Play Ranbir’s Father In Luv Ranjan’s Next Because Of Son Arjun

The handsome Ranbir Kapoor and the beautiful Shraddha Kapoor reached the national capital a few days ago to kick-start shooting for Luv Ranjan’s next and much-awaited romantic comedy. This film will mark their first project together and fans could not have been happier. Well, it was recently revealed that veteran actress Dimple Kapadia and filmmaker Boney Kapoor have been roped in to play Ranbir’s on-screen parents. We have to say, they will make quite an adorable on-screen family.

According to reports, Boney was the reference point for Ranbir’s on-screen father and makers wanted to cast someone like him. When the filmmaker approached him, he declined the offer as he already had his hands full with other upcoming projects. Talking about the same, Boney told Mid Day, “When Luv and his team were writing the script, they had a simple reference point for the character of Ranbir's father — 'somebody like Boney Kapoor'. One fine day, they thought, why not have Boney play the role?” Boney made his acting debut this year with brother Anil Kapoor’s AK vs AK.

So what changed Boney ji’s mind? He shared, “Luv insisted I do the role. He reached out to Arjun, who persuaded me for it. While the team will be shooting at a stretch in Delhi, they have given me the liberty to fly down to Mumbai and attend to my productions.” When asked if he was nervous about facing the camera, the filmmaker replied, “I don't have butterflies in my stomach. I have been calm during life's ups and downs, so why should I feel apprehensive now?”

We are sure he will do wonders as an actor, just like his late wife Sridevi, daughter Janhvi and son Arjun!
