Ranbir an inspiration for the coming generation: Paresh Rawal
While Ranbir Kapoor has been vocal about how inspiring it has been to work with Paresh Rawal in Sanju, the veteran actor believes the young star is an inspiration for the new generation.
Ranbir and Paresh bring alive the father-son bond of Sanjay Dutt and Sunil Dutt on-screen in Sanju, a biopic directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
Praising Ranbir, Paresh told IANS, "I have worked with various actors, but working with Ranbir is something else. He is a very talented actor. And let me tell you, playing Sanjay Dutt, whom we can see every now and then on-screen, is certainly not easy for any actor.
"The way Ranbir internalised and delivered the character... He is flawless. He is an inspirational actor for the coming generation."
Working with Hirani for the first time was also special for Paresh.
"I think I am lucky to be a part of this special film. I was destined to be a part of a film where some of the finest talents like Raju (Hirani), Abhijat Joshi and Ranbir are a part of. I was supposed to work in Munna Bhai MBBS but it did not work out. I was offered the role that later Boman Irani played in the film.”
"But such things happen, and I had in my mind that one day, I will work with him (Hirani). Finally, it has happened with Sanju," he said.
The film is releasing on 29 June.

Didn't always share easy relationship with my father: Sanjay Dutt
Actor Sanjay Dutt, whose life of ups and downs has inspired a Bollywood biopic Sanju tells a father-son story, says he did not share an easy bond with his late father Sunil Dutt.
On Father's Day on Sunday, Sanjay, now a dad of three, remembered his father
"Whatever I am today is because of my father. He is my inspiration and I miss him every day. I did not always share an easy relationship with him. But he always stood by me. I wish he was here to see me as a free man and the beautiful family that I have today. He would have been proud," Sanjay said in a statement to IANS.
It was in February 2016 that Sanjay walked out of jail completing his prison-term for illegal possession of arms. For the actor, his father was always a pillar of strength throughout his roller-coaster personal and professional life.

Talking about his own children, Sanjay said, "Trishala, Iqra and Shahran are such good kids. I am so proud of them... I can't wait to get back home and spend some time with them."

'Delhi 47KM' is a crime satire: Director
Filmmaker Shadab Khan, who is gearing up for the release of Delhi 47 KM, says that the forthcoming film is a crime satire which will question law and order in the country.
Shadab Khan was interacting with the media on Friday to promote his film.
Talking about the story line of the film, Khan said, "Basically, I belong to Uttar Pradesh and there are certain regions where I have witnessed prostitution and the business of drugs and illegal weapons and it shocked me. Then I thought of making a film which revolves around that region.”
"It's basically a crime satire. Delhi is the capital of our country and the region we are showing in the film is merely 47 kms away from Delhi....," he added.
When asked whether he is trying to question the system of the country through this film, he said, "Of course, this film raises questions on the system of the country and that's the whole idea of making it."
"If a region which is so close to the capital of this country is going through these circumstances then you can imagine the situation of law and order in the interior of the country."
When asked whom he wants to show this film from the film industry, he says he wants to show it to Anees Bazmee because he has shown interest in the film.
"Apart from him, I want to show it to Kabir Khan as well," he said.
