Raj Kapoor's grandson Armaan is super thrilled what with the music of his film scored by none other than the Mozart of Madras A.R. Rahman. Besides, the music wizard along with his band performed during the music launch of the film Lekar Hum Deewana Dil held in Mumbai recently.
On surname pressures: I surely have the pressures of belonging to the Kapoor khandan. Comparisons are inevitable. However, at the moment I can only confirm that as an actor, I have sincerely worked on my performance. I tried my best not to leave any stone unturned. I have just stepped onto the Bollywood bandwagon. Hailing from the Kapoor clan, I have been taught to be true and sincere to my profession. And that is what I am clinging to. Well! Ranbir is a fine actor. I am just a beginner there can be no comparisons at all, I am yet to go a long way.
On grandpa Raj Kapoor: I was a fussy eater as a kid. My mom would play my grandpa’s film Joker so I would finish my food while watching the movie as I was very fond of the movie. No sooner did she play the video for me, I would love to watch him enact as a joker and would quietly relish my food.
On Becoming a Joker: As I was growing up, I was very keen on becoming a real Joker. I would keep coaxing my mom to allow me to work in a circus company. The matter turned very serious as I heartily loved circus and the Jokers. I decided to make people laugh at my cost. In my day to day life also I would love to joke and make everyone laugh to their heart’s content. I would get some kind of a satisfaction; Little did I know that I am not meant for circus.
On Grandma Krishna: I have grown up with my Nani around. I am really thankful and happy as she is present here for the music launch of my debut film LKHDD. Nani usually never goes out much, but she attended my event as she loves me a lot. Getting her blessings is what I really need now. My Nana [Raj Kapoor] is always with us. I know he is showering all his blessings on me from above the heaven out there.
On the film's title: Being my first film and the title being inspired by a classic, Lekar Hum Deewana Dil is from my Mami’s [Neetu Singh] hit filmYaadon Ki Baarat-another reason for me to feel great. I am hoping my film too garners the same success as Yaadon Ki Baarat.
What more can I ask for? I am getting the support of all my brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts. Also the biggest support is my mom and dad.
The music launch saw the who’s who from the Bollywood industry in attendance. Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor Rajeev Kapoor and the two famous sisters Lolo and Bebo too graced the occasion.
Lekar Hum Deewana Dil produced by Saif Ali Khan and directed by Imtiaz Ali's brother Arif, has a soundtrack by A R Rahman and will release on July 4.
