Ranbir Kapoor to put on weight for Basu's next

Ranbir Kapoor is perhaps one of the most handsome actors in recent times. Although he hasn’t been necessarily branded as a certain kind��of of actor who is limited to just the one genre, it is thought that his role as Kishore Kumar in the biopic by Anurag Basu will be one of the most difficult of his career. He will also need to put on weight for the role, BizAsia has learnt.

According to Times of India, Basu confirmed, “Ranbir will have to bulk up in the course of the character’s development. Ranbir will have to play Kishore right from the time he was 19 till he turned 58. It is not going to be easy at all for Ranbir”.

Basu went on to say how lucky the project is to have Kumar’s son , Amit, closely associated with them, “We’re fortunate to have him with us. However, Ranbir will first complete Besharam with Abhinav Kashyap.”

Songs originally rendered by Kumar will also be sung for the soundtrack by Amit and rumour has it that Kapoor will be seen on-screen reenacting his father, Rishi’s, O Hanseeni.
