Rishi Kapoor, who will soon be seen in Anubhav Sinha’s upcoming movie titled Mulk, spoke at length about various issues in an interview with H__uffPost India. _Also read: Anubhav Sinha on Mulk: There was not a single moment of self-censorship while making the film_ The actor, who will be playing the role of a common man named Murad Ali Mohammed, who is trying to reclaim his family’s lost honour, spoke about his son Ranbir Kapoor’s career and his latest blockbuster _Sanju_. When asked about his son’s latest being in-line with Rishi’s idea of what Ranbir should be doing, the veteran actor said, “It was a pretty good film, unlike both Bombay Velvet or Jagga Jasoos. They were bad films. They were indulgent. Even Sanjay Leela Bhansali made Saawariya. I mean his forte is something else and he made something else.” [caption id=“attachment_4840871” align=“alignnone” width=“825”]  Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor/Image from Twitter.[/caption] Talking about _Bombay Velvet_ director Anurag Kashyap and Jagga Jasoos director Anurag Basu, Rishi Kapoor said, “Anurag Kashyap. You give him so much money, he literally didn’t know what to do with it. Jagga Jasoos was such a bad film, such a bad story. It was absolutely rubbish. I questioned Ranbir and he said, “Papa, the man who gave me Barfi, how could I question his… I thought he’d be responsible enough to know to keep the story at its point.” Rishi Kapoor further said that he doesn’t interfere in Ranbir’s career and the latter does what he wants. He went on to say:

“I mean everybody said ki what is Ranbir doing and again it’s going to go down the drain and Ranbir is finished and this and that. They all said that. I said that it is his choice and he’s an actor, he will go through these experiences. He’ll learn from his mistakes. I mean I’ve seen that boy coming to the house and not eating, then working out and putting on weight for the bulked up Sanju and then losing it all for the lanky one. And that boy has worked really hard for the film. People are not really understanding the amount of labour that is gone as an actor in the film.”
