Shakun Batra’s family drama ‘Kapoor and Sons’ has completed 5 years of its theatre release. The film hit the silver screens on March 18, 2016.
Alia Bhatt, Fawad Khan, Sidharth Malhotra, Rishi Kapoor, Ratna Pathak Shah, and Rajat Kapoor played titular roles in the film.
Celebrating 5 years of the film, Alia Bhatt shared multiple BTS videos from the movie in her Instagram stories. In the video, the actor who recently turned 28, can be seen having a fun time with the crew of ‘Kapoor and Sons’.
Have a look at Alia’s stories:
Kapoor and Sons revolved around a dysfunctional family which was reunited after ‘dadu’ Amarjeet Kapoor (played by late Rishi Kapoor) suffered a heart attack and expressed his last wish to take a family photo which he wanted to title as ‘Kapoor & Sons since 1921’.
In a 2016 interview with DNA, Rishi had said, “I didn’t have fun working for Shakun Batra in Kapoor & Sons. You see I worked for 30-32 days on this film. Not a single day passed when Shakun and I didn’t fight.” he went on to add, “It was not a creative fight. It was something else. We fought because I couldn’t agree with his method of working on my role. Shakun wanted to cover every shot of mine from many different angles. But I am an old-school spontaneous actor. I couldn’t recreate the same expression several times over for every shot. I respect all schools of acting. But I am not a method actor. With every successive shot, I lose my spontaneity. This new style of working where actors give the same shot repeatedly from different angles has gained acceptance because in the digital era no raw stock is wasted. Because they have the facility of editing a film on a digital platform they want more software. Thereby actors have turned into robots.” Rishi had said he had offered to leave the film twice.
Rishi shared in the interview, “I informed Karan Johar I was leaving. Please understand this was a very difficult role. For 13 hours I had to wear the makeup and emote in contact lenses, etc. I couldn’t do every shot from many angles.”
