The actor reprises the look of Rishi Kapoor's legendary character Akbar from the superhit film 'Amar Akbar Anthony', in an item song.
Ranbir Kapoor is the latest item boy in town. The actor recently shot for an item song with a gang of kids for the film ' Chiller Party ' produced by UTV Spot Boy. However, what's interesting is the fact that the song is actually Ranbir's tribute to his father, Rishi Kapoor.
Apparently, Ranbir Kapoor has been in love with his father's film Amar Akbar Anthony since he was a kid himself. The film showcased Rishi Kapoor in the character of Akbar that featured him in a very different look. This tapori look had created an impression in Ranbir's mind when he was growing up.
"When Ranbir was approached with the idea of an item song with kids in a similar fashion, donning the same look as his father, he immediately agreed and decided to give a tribute to his father", says a source associated with the film. "Like Rishi Kapoor, Ranbir dons the look of a tapoori , with evident kajal in his eyes, a cupped tirchi topi on his head, a thin moustache and a real pan in his mouth making his lips go deep red".
" Chillar Party is a kid's film that Ranbir had fallen in love with, the moment he saw it", adds the source. "Junior Kapoor felt that the kids would love this look on him and it eventually did work. The kids were amazed to see him in that attire. They all ran towards him and gave him a big bear hug".
The co-directors of the film Vikas Bahl and Nitesh Tiwari were extremely happy to have Ranbir do this interesting item song with the kid gang of Chillar Party . They expressed, "As an actor, Ranbir keeps improvising. And when it came to the 'inspired' look in the song, he was prompt to come up with the idea to have a similar kind of head-gear, moustache and pan chewing look as his father in Amar Akbar Anthony ."
