It’s well known that Ranbir Kapoor speaks his mind. He doesn’t conduct many interviews, but when he does, they all become very popular.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani fans have long wished for a follow-up to the movie. Deepika Padukone’s Naina, Ranbir Kapoor’s Bunny/Kabir, Kalki Koechlin’s Aditi, and Aditya Roy Kapur’s Avi each have their own fan bases. It appears that Ayan Mukerji had a story ready but put it on hold to work on Brahmastra. It would take place, according to him, ten years after the original incident.
In a virtual chat session, Ranbir Kapoor was asked which movie he felt would make for a good sequel other than Brahmastra. He said it would be Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. He said that Ayan Mukerji had a good story in his mind. But it seems he started work on Brahmastra. Ranbir Kapoor was quoted as saying, “But, never say never. He might make it after a couple of years.” He said that the film would be set 10 years in advance and fans would see where the main characters are in their lives.
Ranbir Kapoor’s last movie Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar was a roaring hit at the box office. It made above Rs 150 crores. He said that the Hindi film industry had kind of lost touch with its core audience. He said that Bollywood was too confused and influenced by Western culture. Ranbir Kapoor said the trend of doing remakes/sequels caught on, and it was a sign of being influenced by Bollywood. The young superstar said that it was important to give new actors, directors and story-tellers a chance. He said the influx of new people would bring fresher content to the table. Ranbir Kapoor was quoted as saying, “I think it’s very important actually to give them (an opportunity) because that’s when the change happens. That’s when new minds come and new stories are being told so I hope that happens.” Also Read – Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif to come together for a Yash Raj spy film; netizens say ‘Cast Ranbir Kapoor as villain’
