Passionate romance in ‘Befikre’ inspired by Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji?

Aditya Chopra recently wrapped up his directorial ‘Befikre’ which stars Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor. According to a report in a leading daily, the passionate romance between Ranveer and Vani in the film is inspired by Adi’s own relationship with Rani Mukerji.

Well, Adi was the one who had launched Ranveer with ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ in 2010. While the director and the actor were quite close earlier, they bonded more on the sets of ‘Befikre’.

A source said, “Of all of Adi’s protégés at Yash Raj, which includes Sushant Singh Rajput, Ayushmann Khurrana, Arjun Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Parineeti Chopra, Ranveer is his favourite. So much so that when Adi set his mind on doing his most intensely romantic movie, ‘Befikre’, it was Ranveer who was his first choice and insisted on waiting a whole year for the actor to complete Bajirao.”

“He started with Yash Raj and then moved on to other filmmakers. But now that he’s back, it’s exactly like the good old times,” added the source.

According to the grapevine, the actor was also the main man behind the Yash Raj tribute presented at a recent awards function. The source revealed, “Every number presented at the on-stage homage was carefully handpicked by Ranveer himself. In fact, Ranveer had really wanted Adi to attend the function, but Adi never attends these functions; so much so that he wasn’t even willing to make an exception for his favourite protégé.”
