Ranbir Kapoor, who is celebrating his 41st birthday today, often comes under scrutiny for his controversial statements. However, the Animal star has remained unfazed by all the hullabaloo over the years, and never hired any publicist for any kind of damage control, which is a rarity for a Bollywood movie star of his stature.
In an interview with Times Now in 2012, Ranbir had explained why he would not hire a PR team and how it could impact the career of an actor. “PR is the death of an actor,” he had said. “What happens is when you use PR the wrong way, you start believing it. People who plant articles about themselves or about other people, it becomes a very addictive game. And you start believing that my stardom is dependent only on how many times my face is featured on the cover of a magazine.”
Ranbir continued, “I think PR is something you have to use intelligently, where your skills are concerned. You use PR intelligently when you’re really doing something. And if you don’t believe in something… if I’m going to a charity event for a PR thing, the audience sees through it. If you don’t believe in something, they’ll always see through you.”
On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up for the release of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal. Animal teaser will be unveiled today, coinciding with the actor’s birthday. It will be over two minutes long and reportedly give an insight into Ranbir’s intense character. Animal is scheduled for release on December 1 and will clash with Sam Bahadur.
Rashmika Mandanna has been cast as the female lead for Animal. She will be sharing screen space with Ranbir for the first time. Anil Kapoor has also been roped in for a crucial role in the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial. Bobby Deol is reportedly playing the antagonist in the film.
