'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar': Ranbir Kapoor reveals why he waited a decade to do a rom-com

'I’m just insecure that I don’t run out of a personality, so I can still keep delivering some entertainment through the genre,' said Ranbir Kapoor.

'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar': Ranbir Kapoor reveals why he waited a decade to do a rom-com

Actor Ranbir Kapoor opened up on why he stayed away from the rom-com genre for a decade. At the trailer launch event, Ranbir said, ‘Sometimes what happens is actors have very limited faces and personality. Sometimes you run out of them and you need characters.’

Calling rom-com the hardest genre, he explained, ‘When you give me a character like Sanju or Rockstar, you’re hiding behind a character. There’s a certain paraphernalia around you to work with. But these rom-com parts are very hard. I’m just insecure that I don’t run out of a personality, so I can still keep delivering some entertainment through the genre.’

Ranbir Kapoor also appreciated writers Luv and Rahul for the film. He said, ‘After Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani why didn’t I do a another rom-com? Because it’s the most difficult to make. Rom-coms tend to become slightly westernised. You shoot in New York so you feel you’re making a rom-com. But rom-com is in the writing. Luv and Rahul both are extremely fine writers. There’s no strategy behind it (not doing another rom-com) but if I had continued to do similar films then the excitement fades away.’

The actor also recalled the time when he called up Luv Ranjan after watching ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2’ and asked him to collaborate with him for a movie. ‘I called up Luv Ranjan after I saw Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2. I loved the film and said I’d love to collaborate with him on a movie. Later we met and brainstormed on ideas. We had even launched a movie with me and Ajay sir. Months later Luv narrated this idea to me and since then we have become good friends,’ he said.

Ranbir Kapoor has announced that ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’ could be one of his last rom-coms. The film is set to release theatrically on Holi, i.e March 8.
