• Ranbir Kapoor has clarified his earlier statement.
• Ranbir discussed it to promote his next movie.
• He said I think my statement was misconstrued.

Ranbir Kapoor, an actor, has clarified his earlier statement that he would “love to” appear in a Pakistani movie. According to a report, Ranbir discussed it during a recent event to promote his next movie Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. It was ‘misconstrued’ adding that he ‘didn’t want it to be controversial in any way’.

Ranbir had gone to the Red Sea International Film Festival in December of the previous year. He was a panellist as well, and a Pakistani filmmaker asked him if he would be willing to participate in a production if it took place somewhere else. Ranbir had responded, “Of course, sir. I think there are no boundaries for artistes, especially for arts…Of course, I would love to.”

Currently, Ranbir has said, “I think yeh thoda mera statement misconstrue ho gaya tha. (I think my statement was misconstrued). I had gone to a film festival and there were a lot of Pakistani filmmakers asking me this question, ‘If you’ve got a good subject would you do it?’ So, I didn’t want it to be controversial in any way. I don’t think itni bhi badi controversy hui. (It was not a big controversy) But, for me, films are films, art is art. I have worked with Fawad (Khan) in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.”

“I have known a lot of artists from Pakistan. Rahat (Fateh Ali Khan) and Atif Aslam are such great singers who used to contribute to Hindi cinema. So, cinema is cinema. I don’t think cinema sees boundaries. But, of course, you have to respect art but at the same time, art is not bigger than your country. So, anybody who is not on good terms with your country, your first priority will always be your country,”  he said at the Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar event.

In Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, Ranbir will next be seen with Shraddha Kapoor and comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi. The movie, directed by Luv Ranjan, is Ranbir and Shraddha’s debut on-screen pairing. Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, which will be presented by Gulshan Kumar and Bhushan Kumar of T-Series and produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg of Luv Productions, will hit theatres on March 8.

Together with Rashmika Mandanna, Ranbir is currently developing Animal. Together with Tripti Dimri, Bobby Deol, and Anil Kapoor, the movie is directed by Sandeep Reddy Bhanga.
