When Yash Chopra wanted to make a biopic on Raj Kapoor

When Ranbir Kapoor sat down for a chat on Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist series, he spoke about Yash Chopra’s interest in making a biopic on his grandfather. He said, “Yes, there were certain talks. But I believe that if you`re doing an actor`s biopic, it has to open certain classified files or certain areas in that actor`s life which is honest. You can`t highlight only the God side of a person. You have to highlight the human side of a person. The flaws, the mistakes. I don`t think my family would allow it to make a biopic on my grandfather. But yes, there was interest that Yash Ji had shown towards me.”
