When Yash Chopra wanted to make a biopic on Raj Kapoor

When Ranbir Kapoor sat down for a chat on Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist series, he spoke about Yash Chopra’s interest in making a biopic on his grandfather. He said, “Yes, there were certain talks. But I believe that if you're doing an actor's biopic, it has to open certain classified files or certain areas in that actor's life which is honest. You can't highlight only the God side of a person. You have to highlight the human side of a person. The flaws, the mistakes. I don't think my family would allow it to make a biopic on my grandfather. But yes, there was interest that Yash Ji had shown towards me.”
