“I saw that film probably 20 times in the theatre” – Ranbir Kapoor on how Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raj’ from DDLJ shaped him as a romantic film hero

Ranbir Kapoor, who is back on-screen as the quintessential romantic hero in the much-awaited Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, says Raj from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) has inspired him to play charming lover boys in cinema, having seen the iconic film at least 20 times!

"I saw that film probably 20 times in the theatre" - Ranbir Kapoor on how Shah Rukh Khan's ‘Raj’ from DDLJ shaped him as a romantic film hero

“Raj was everything! You know, he could do anything! I think Aditya Chopra gave us a character, that was aspirational, he was naughty, he was charming, like it shook you up! I know I saw that film probably 20 times in the theatre!” reveals Ranbir, who has won the country’s heart in cult romantic films like Bachna Ae Haseeno, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Rockstar, Tamasha, to name a few.

DDLJ is the longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema as it still plays at Maratha Mandir in Mumbai. Ranbir has spoken his heart out on YRF & Hindi cinema’s influence on people’s lives in Netflix docu-series The Romantics. The docu-series is a tribute to the legacy of Yash Chopra, YRF and its cultural impact on India and Indians for the past 50 years. The national over-pouring of love for Yash Chopra and YRF was evident as The Romantics became the Number 1 trending title on Netflix within 48 hours of its drop, a rare feat for a documentary!

From Aamir Khan to Salman Khan, from Shah Rukh Khan to Ranbir Kapoor, from Amitabh Bachchan to Ranveer Singh, from Rani Mukerji to Hrithik Roshan, from Katrina Kaif to Anushka Sharma, the mega-stars and icons of Hindi cinema have come together and spoken about Yash Chopra and YRF’s contribution to Indian cinema in The Romantics.
