Ranbir wishes dad Rishi were alive to watch Shamshera

Ranbir Kapoor has said that his upcoming film, Shamshera, is an attempt to cross language barriers and connect with a pan-Indian audience, reports hindustantimes.

He added that he wished his father, late actor Rishi Kapoor were alive to watch the film. Rishi died on April 30, 2020, after battling cancer.

In Shamshera, Ranbir essays the titular role of a man, who is made a slave and later turns into a leader for the safety of his tribe. Directed by Karan Malhotra, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor.

“I really wish my father was alive to see this film. He has always been blatantly honest about his criticism if he has liked something or not liked something, especially with my work. So, it’s sad that he’s not going to see it. But I am really excited that I got to do a film like this and I hope that somewhere up there he is looking out for me and he is proud of me," Ranbir said in a press statement.
