It’s almost impossible to not have a smile on your face every time you see Rocky Randhawa on screen in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (RARKPK). After playing Bittoo Sharma to perfection in his debut film Band Baaja Baaraat (2010), Ranveer Singh has reinvented the Delhi boy with Karan Johar’s directorial offering. The Rocky we get is a protein-shake swigging gym rat, who is a simpleton underneath his flashy clothes.
Writer Ishita Moitra, who co-wrote the family dramedy with Sumit Roy and Shashank Khaitan, says it was a joy to create Rocky. One of his most endearing traits is his faltering English. What he lacks in fluency, he makes up for in confidence. “The idea was to keep his Punjabiness alive. We had to keep in mind that his first language is not English. So, when he says, ‘Where where you, there there he’, he means ‘Jahan jahan tum, wahan wahan woh,’” she explains.
