Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is reenacting Sanjay
Dutt in a Hindi biopic on the controversial actor's life, looks heavier than
usual these days. He tells he has never before put on so much weight.
"It has been an inspiring journey for me to be playing
Sanjay Dutt for the silver screen. I have never put on so much weight before
and now plans to reduce some weight for the next phase of shooting,"
Ranbir told at the launch of India's first HP Virtual Reality (VR) lounge at
PVR ECX, Mall of India here on Monday.
The yet untitled movie, being directed by Rajkumar Hirani,
would portray seven different phases of Sanjay Dutt's life, starting from when
he was all of 22.
"It's amazing to be working with a director like
Rajkumar Hirani," Ranbir, who looked elegant in a gray suit and sky blue
shirt, told at the event.
Replying to question on how emerging technologies like
virtual reality may impact movie-going experience, the "Ae Dil Hai
Mushkil" actor said that although he fears increased use of gadgets might
take audiences away from cinemas, movies with good content would continue to do
well at theatres.
The VR lounge at PVR ECX will allow movie-goers to
experience a new dimension of entertainment while they wait for their film to
begin.
It will let customers explore a whole new library of
fascinating and adventurous immersive and interactive content curated from
various genres like drama, fiction, science fiction, horror and action,
among others.
"It is a mind-blowing experience to go through the VR
experience. But being an actor, I fear that it might take away the audiences
from movie theatres," he told.
Stating the good run of Varun Dhawan-starrer "Badrinath
Ki Dulhania" at the box office, Ranbir told he continues to believe that
"content is king".
Without discarding the importance of technology in our
lives, he said that it is also important to take time out for our fellow human
beings.
"Please don't get consumed by electronics," he further
added.
