Shamshera’ has X-factor to woo audience to theatre: Ranbir

Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor who is coming to the big screen four years after he delivered the blockbuster ‘Sanju’, said it’s his ‘good fortune’ that ‘Shamshera’ and ‘Brahmastra’ came into his kitty at such a time. Ranbir will be seen playing a larger-than-life quintessential Hindi film hero in the Yash Raj Films (YRF) action
entertainer ‘Shamshera’.In an interaction with UNI, Ranbir talked about the responsibility he had in playing the double role in the movie and why he chose ‘Shamshera’ and ‘Brahmastra’ to make a comeback on the big screen.“I would like to congratulate myself that I chose such films at such time — when I saw it coming that you need a big-ticket film to get the audience to the theatre. You need to give them a little bit of an extra X factor, to draw them in. You are seeing this model happening all over the world,” Ranbir said.“It’s not like I will stop doing the kinds of films I used to do, but I will probably do it for different mediums. But if you want to pull the audience to the the- atre and especially at a time like this post-pandemic, you have to give them an experience that they will realize ok this I can only see with the collective audience on the big screen. And it’s my good fortune and my good fortune telling also that ‘Shamshera’and ‘Brahmastra’ both come in that category “, the 39-year-old actor said.
