Moreover, he also mentioned that they both surrender to the vision of the director.

Karan says: “I am fortunate to have worked with both Chintu uncle and Ranbir, they are so different yet so similar. While with Chintu uncle we would argue, fight and have multiple discussions on the character arc of Rauf Lala. He always gave me immense respect and never treated me like a first-time director. The challenges we threw at each other only made the character bigger. I miss the madness on set with him every single day.”

In Agneepath, also starring Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra, Rishi Kapoor essayed the role of an antagonist, Rauf Lala.

He shared, ” Ranbir Kapoor and Chintu uncle (Rishi Kapoor) are very different but their work ethics are similar. They both surrender to the vision of the director. Rishi Kapoor had always been vocal about his wish to see Ranbir do a hardcore commercial film. So with that thought, working with Ranbir on Shamshera has been extremely delightful. He has given the character his all and I now can’t wait for audiences to witness the magic that he has created on-screen.”

Shamshera starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor will hit the big screens on July 22, this Friday.
