Ranbir Kapoor was reportedly chosen for the role because of his Punjabi background.
It’s not a secret that Ranbir is set to work in director Shimit Amin ’s next film for Yashraj Films . And if latest reports from tinsel town are to go by, the young actor plays a Sikh guy in the movie.
Coming from the director who gave the last year’s superhit Chak De India , this project is being carefully kept under wraps by the production house that is quite known for gagging its actors and production team from speaking to media about the film.
However, whatever information that has trickled out suggests that Ranbir has even done a trial of his look in the film. He will reportedly wear a turban for his role.
Ranbir is presently shooting the Yashraj film Bachna Ae Haseeno with director Siddharth Anand in Europe. It is very much possible that Ranbir’s performance in the film helped him to grab the YRF project with Shimit Amin.
Meanwhile, there has also been buzz that Ranbir is set to play a jehadi in Karan Johar’s film Khan , starring Shah Rukh Khan in leading role.
