Ranbir Kapoor is playing a larger-than-life quintessential Hindi film hero for the first time in his career with the action entertainer `Shamshera`. Ranbir, who is coming to the big screen four years after he delivered the blockbuster Sanju, wowed everyone and also caught people by surprise when the trailer of the much-awaited film dropped. This is the first time Ranbir is playing two characters in the same film.
Ranbir spills the beans on the fact that he was only approached to play Balli but he convinced producer Aditya Chopra and film-maker Karan Malhotra to trust him with the character of Shamshera too! He says, “When the film was narrated to me, it wasn’t really offered to me as a double role. But when I heard the story, my immediate response to Aditya Chopra and Karan Malhotra was that let me play the father also!”
