In the demanding world of Bollywood filmmaking, where production schedules can become grueling marathons and challenging conditions test everyone's limits, producer Boney Kapoor has offered a revealing glimpse into the remarkable professionalism displayed by actor Ranbir Kapoor during the creation of their film Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. Rather than focusing on typical star narratives of glamour or ego, Kapoor's account centers on something far more substantial: endurance, patience, and an unshakeable commitment to realizing the director's creative vision.
Unwavering Composure in Challenging Conditions
During a conversation with respected trade analyst Komal Nahata, Kapoor began by emphasizing how he never witnessed Ranbir losing his composure, even during the most physically taxing shooting days. As Kapoor vividly recalled, "Ranbir is one actor I never saw cribbing on the set. We have shot for 16 hours at a stretch. We were filming in Delhi during peak summer, and the schedule was eventually switched to nighttime to escape the oppressive heat. Through it all, he didn't complain even once."
The 52-Retake Episode That Defined Professionalism
One particular incident stands out prominently in Kapoor's memory—a sequence that required an extraordinary number of takes to perfect. Kapoor shared this telling anecdote: "In one take, I remember there were 52 retakes. And throughout this demanding process, Ranbir gave full respect to the entire crew. These retakes happened for various technical and creative reasons."
What makes this story even more compelling is how Ranbir's experience became a source of encouragement for others on set. Kapoor revealed, "In fact, when there were 13-14 retakes required for one of my own shots, I began feeling somewhat frustrated. That's when Ranbir came to me and said, 'I gave 52 retakes. Don't get discouraged. Until the director is completely satisfied, you've got to give it your all.'"
Ranbir Kapoor's Upcoming Film Projects
This display of professional dedication comes as Ranbir Kapoor prepares for an exciting lineup of future projects that promise to keep him in the spotlight:
- Love & War: A highly anticipated collaboration with acclaimed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, featuring co-stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. While the exact release date remains unconfirmed, expectations are running high for this cinematic offering.
- Ramayan: Part 1: Director Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious mythological epic, where Ranbir will be joined by an impressive ensemble cast including Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, and Yash. The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2026 release, with the second part following exactly one year later during Diwali 2027.
These forthcoming projects demonstrate Ranbir Kapoor's continued evolution as one of Bollywood's most versatile and dedicated performers, building on the strong work ethic that producers like Boney Kapoor have come to appreciate and respect.
