Besharam features Rishi, Neetu and Ranbir Kapoor
Mumbai:
Director Abhinav Singh Kashyap says the casting the Kapoor clan for his forthcoming film Besharam was a design to raise viewers' curiosity and he is glad to have succeeded in his endeavour.
Real life couple and actors Neetu and Rishi Kapoor will be seen as police officers in the film and their son Ranbir is playing the lead role in it.
Very rarely has Rishi donned the khaki uniform on the screen and Aurangzeb and Besharam are one of those few films.
Apparently, when Kashyap had finalised Rishi for Besharam, till that time Aurganzeb hadn't happen.
"I was on the lookout for an elderly famous actor to play the role of a cop. While I was interacting with Ranbir, I realised Rishi Kapoor had not played a cop in his 40-year career," said Abhinav.
"As another afterthought I thought why not have Neetu Singh play another pivotal role, which was already there in the script because then it will arouse people's curiosity," he said when asked how he managed to cast the entire Kapoor clan in the film.
The trio is working together for the first time in the film.
"The very fact that you are asking me this question, shows that yes, by design I tried to get all three of them together and I am glad they agreed," he said.
If you loved Ranbir as this fun loving guy who believes in chasing his dreams in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, his character in Besharam is the complete opposite - he is naughty, shameless and justifies the title of the film, coming out on October 2.
