Ranbir Kapoor is one of the successful star kids in Bollywood. He has been a part of some of the hit movies like Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Barfi, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Rajneeti and Sanju. He is going to be back on the silver screens after more than 4 years with Shamshera.

In a media chat, Ranbir was questioned about what coaxed him to essay a role of a larger-than-life character like Shamshera, when he played cutesy characters in rom-coms for a better part of his career. Ranbir responded, “Conviction”. He further explained on his stance and revealed, “These are the films I have grown up loving. It was a natural progression for me after 15 years and 17 films, I’ve done the coming of age, I have come off age, I am done being the Harry Potter of Hindi cinema. So, I was waiting for the right opportunity, not that the offers have not come my way, but I was looking for the right opportunity, right director and the combination is very important. So it was all on paper, and I’d be a fool to not do it.” It is a challenging role for Ranbir and in a latest chat, he went on to say that Shamshera has been his toughest film till date.
