After Bachna Ae Haseeno, Ranbir Kapoor is now shooting for Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani.
In this film Ranbir plays the depressed lover-boy hopelessly in love with the idea of being in love. It’s said that his character in this film is inspired by the one played by his grandfather Raj Kapoor in Mera Naam Joker and Charlie Chaplin in City Lights.
A source reveals, "He plays Prem an innocent guy and yes in this film Ranbir will play two distinct characters similar to Charlie Chaplin and Raj Kapoor. His character will be in sync with modern times. He is very excited to do this role as he wants to revive his grandfather’s humour and loves his whole style. It’s been almost 4 months that he has been shooting for this film."
Adds the source, "For this role, he went through his grandfather’s past films like Shri 420, Mera Naam Joker and many others. For this role his mother and dad helped him a lot. Almost 25% of the film is complete and he is working very hard for it."
The music of film is being given by Pritam while Katrina Kaif plays his premika. The film is expected to release in mid 2009.
