He delivered a heavy-duty performance in Rockstar, and now, Ranbir Kapoor is set to charm audiences with his “romantic-comic” outing in Barfee. The actor plays a deaf and mute person in the film, while Priyanka Chopra will be seen as a mentally challenged girl and Ileana D`Cruz will narrate the story.
Post Rockstar, the talented Ranbir Kapoor is leaving no stone unturned to make sure that every part of his forthcoming movie Barfee is perfect. And to ensure a great outcome of his scenes, he has taken over the task of shooting his own close ups in the film from Ravi K Chandran, a vetaran cinematographer who is also a DOP of the film.
A source close to the film says, “Since Ranbir plays a mute character, he needed to get his expressions perfect. Through his eyes and other facial expressions Ranbir needed to convey a limitless range of emotions that go from thoughtful to funny. And to capture the exact expressions at the exact time, Ranbir suggested he operate the camera himself on himself.”
Ravi K Chandran who is known to be very particular about his work, normally doesn’t prefer anyone’s interfere in his work, but he too allowed Ranbir as he knows the actor since the days of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Black’ where Ranbir was an assistant director.
“That’s because Ravi and Ranbir go back a long way. Ravi shot Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black where Ranbir was an assistant. Coincidentally Black was also about a deaf-and-mute protagonist. So Ranbir and Ravi know how difficult it is to get the right expressions on camera at just the right moment,” told the source further.
When contacted the director of the movie, Anurag Basu, he confirmed it by saying that Ranbir had indeed shot his own POV (point of view) shots, for the reason that he enacts the character of a deaf-and-mute which was extremely essential for him to capture the shots of an exact expression at exact time.
‘Barfee’ starring Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D’Cruz is all set to release in July 2012.
