For the past couple of days, two people have been making headlines because of promotional posters released by Yash Raj Films. For those who couldn’t figure it out yet, we are talking about the newcomers Anya Singh and Aadar Jain, who are all set to floor us with their upcoming movie ‘Qaidi Band’. Aadar Jain is Ranbir Kapoor’s cousin andRaj Kapoor’s grandson. The movie’s much-awaited trailer was finally released today and in all honesty, the trailer gave away the whole gist of the film and did not intrigue us at all.

The trailer starts with a scene of jail inmates fighting and placing bets and doing all sorts of random things to make money. The plot then gradually shifts to the under-trials forming an orchestra band to perform on Independence Day. The under-trials soon put their hopes of freedom on music and start giving their best, but right when they are about to be released, something unexpected happens. While, at some places it looks like a combination of Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Rockstar’ and Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Rock On’, there is another movie that is based on similar lines. The movie is ‘Lucknow Central’ and talks about a jail inmate who forms his band inside the jail. It stars Farhan Akhtar, Diana Penty, Gippy Grewal, Ronit Roy and Deepak Dobriyal among others. Check out the trailer here. 

The concept is interesting and different from what YRF usually delivers, but the trailer did not impress us at all. Further, the lead pair failed to stand out, although some of their dialogues were really amazing. It is written and directed by Habib Faisal and produced by Aditya Chopra. Whether this movie manages to leave an impact on the audience will be known on August 25, when it hits theatres.

ranbir1Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor says he is always prepared to face failure and he finds himself detached from success.

On Wednesday, Ranbir introduced his cousin Aadar Jain, who is going to make his debut with a Yash Raj Films project to be directed by Habib Faisal. The banner will also launch Anya Singh.

Before “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, Ranbir had a string of films like “Besharam”, “Roy”, “Bombay Velvet” and “Tamasha” that didn’t do too well.

Asked about how he deals with lows in life, Ranbir told the media here: “People have seen me in the last three years. My first film ‘Saawariya’ was also a big disaster, so I am always prepared for it. I already said that the God is in the work, and I feel really happy when I am working.

“I am quite detached with success and failure of a film, and I wish that Aadar and Anya both at least adapt to that concept.”
Sharing some words of wisdom with Aadar, Ranbir said: “When I entered the industry, I got so much advice from seniors, family members and all, but I feel everybody has to make their own journey.

“I might advise him on many things, but it doesn’t matter because till the time he doesn’t fall, he will not be able to rise up for the occasion. And in the same way, till the time he won’t see his first success, till that time he won’t be able to take pride and credit for it.

“I can give him advice if he comes to me, but I can’t tell him to do a certain film which will help in your career because if one year later that film doesn’t work, then it will be wrong… Because we are in such an industry where decisions have to be yours and based on your gut feeling and instincts… It all has to come from within”

Ranbir also advised Aadar about handling the media.

He said: “They are the people who are going to help, support, praise and criticize you. When you are doing bad, they will hold you up. They will write bad things about you. Do give them your perspective and what you feel about certain things and it won’t harm you if you are politically correct sometimes, so don’t be completely honest also.”

Talking about how Aadar had worked as an assistant director in “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, Ranbir said: “I used to bully him. I used to call him in my make-up room and I used to instruct him to say Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or Anushka’s (Anushka Sharma) lines so I could learn my lines.

“I was using him, but in a way it was good for him because I used to tell him to act with expressions and emotions.”
On the work front, Ranbir is gearing up for Anurag Basu’s “Jagga Jasoos” in which he will be seen with Katrina Kaif. The film is releasing on July 14.
