Loading ...Director Siddarth Anand is very happy with Ranbir Kapoor’s performance in Anjaani Anjaani. He had to wait for a year to get Ranbir Kapoor’s dates for the film but in the end he feels it was worth it. The director says, “Anjaana Anjaani doesn’t have trappings of a commercial pot boiler. It’s a little different. I’ve stretched this love story. But I know that it is for the fact, thoroughly entertaining. I’ve managed to entertain my audiences and also surprise them.”
Siddarth Anand is known to shoot his movies in places where not many director or producers tread. He says, “I shot Salaam Namaste in Melbourne. At that point in time, it was a city never explored by Bollywood filmmakers. For Ta Ra Rum Pum, we shot in North Carolina and for Bachna Ae Haseeno, we shot in Switzerland, Rome, Italy. Anjaana Anjaani we shot in San Francisco and Las Vegas. A lot of my friends tell me that I shot in locations where I go for my vacations. I have written a script for Anjaana Anjaani which is based in rural India, not Mumbai or Delhi.”
Coming back to Ranbir Kapoor, he says, “Ranbir is a fuller actor. I hope to tie him down for my next film too, I wish (laughs). He is a natural actor and that’s what makes him a perfect actor. He doesn’t think before doing anything. That’s why his Wake up Sid is different from an Ajab Prem … and Ajab Prem is different from a Raajneeti. He doesn’t have any method. It’s the best part to watch him act.”
He says that it was tough to get Priyanka Chopra on board too considering she has a jam-packed diary of work but once he was able to get her dates, she was commitment personified. Siddarth puts it forthright, “It is okay if stars take time. I think a film is forever and if you have patience, that same film will be talked about for a decade.”
