Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor is busy promoting his latest film, ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.’ The movie has hit theaters on the auspicious occasion of Holi and marks his return to the romantic comedy genre after Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. The movie features Shraddha Kapoor as the leading lady and is directed by Luv Ranjan. Interestingly, it is yet another collaboration between Ranbir and music composer Pritam, who has always done justice to Ranbir’s superstar image with his soulful and chartbuster music. In the past, their successful collaborations have included movies like Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Barfi!, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Jagga Jasoos, and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Ranbir Kapoor opened up about his long-standing collaboration with music composer Pritam. The actor spoke highly of Pritam’s ability to create beautiful music that complements his performances perfectly. He said, “I guess I was lucky that I got that kind of music. I think somewhere Pritam also recognizes the fact that probably I work hard on my songs. I do films which have songs which make an impact. I love the process of music. I love going into Pritam dada’s studio, and sitting with him during his tunes. I love when directors are setting the choreography. I like participating in it. So I’ve always enjoyed the music-making process. For me, it is as important as being a very big scene in the film. I think the songs are as important. I learned that from my own family members Shammi Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, my father and my cousins, they’ve all had such good songs in their careers, maybe even Kareena and Karisma, my mother also. So I understand the value and that’s why it’s an element in my career that I don’t want to leave.”
The music of ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’ has been receiving a lot of love and appreciation from audiences all over the nation. The film boasts seven full-fledged songs, including hits like ‘Tere Pyaar Mein’, ‘Pyaar Hota Kayi Baar Hain’, and ‘Show Me The Thumka’, which showcase the evolution of music in Indian cinema. When asked about how music has evolved since his debut in ‘Saawariya’, Ranbir Kapoor added, “I thought of things that I felt in my career, I can only speak for myself, music has really helped me. Music has given me a lot of recognition. Music has given me a lot of love. I feel ill, especially today with the new directors. I see that people are finding it very hard to see the character sing and dance on screen. So I got very lucky when I met Luv Ranjan who believes in music himself. He’s a big fan of his actors singing songs. I think this because songs are such a big part of our Indian culture. It’s the only industry in the world where we celebrate our songs. Our films are not one genre, its multi-genre. We have so much that you’re giving an audience in just one film. I think those are the films which really stayed because when we try and get too progressive and try and get too new age, and try and make one genre films, I guess people find that boring. Those films are probably meant for OTT or smaller audiences. But when you’re trying to make a large audience film for a country like India, or worldwide, you have all these elements because that’s what we love as an audience. We want to celebrate all of those things you are.”
After the release of ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar’, Ranbir has another exciting project in the pipeline – the much-awaited film ‘Animal’, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film is set to release in August 2023.
