Ranbir Kapoor Calls His Father Rishi Kapoor ‘A Big Bully’: Says, ‘He Used To Test His Directors’
Ranbir Kapoor, in a recent interview, opened up about his late father and actor Rishi Kapoor’s way of working and how he used to be a bully on the sets and test directors
Ranbir Kapoor is back on the silver screen with two massive projects ‘Shamshera’ and ‘Brahmastra’ and he is currently busy promoting the former film which is directed by Karan Malhotra. In a recent interview, he opened up about his late father actor Rishi Kapoor and told that he was a big bully and used to test people.
Recently, in an interaction with Peeping Moon, Ranbir spoke about Karan Malhotra’s experience working with Rishi Kapoor in the 2012 film ‘Agneepath’ along with Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt, Priyanka Chopra, Zarina Wahab, and late actor Om Puri. Agneepath was Karan’s directorial debut. He was quoted saying, “My father was always a big bully and he used to test his directors. If he comes on too strong and the director doesn't hold his own and agrees to everything he says, he knows he has to take over the project. So he always did this testing thing but thankfully, Karan is such a confident person himself that he always stood his ground.”
