Ranbir Kapoor’s singing is very bad but he is a good actor: Vedang Raina

Actor Ranbir Kapoor has a huge fan following, one of which is Vedang Raina, who recently shared the screen with Alia Bhatt in Jigra. However, Vedang is only a fan of Ranbir’s acting, not his singing. In a recent interview, while discussing Imtiaz Ali’s film Rockstar, where Ranbir plays a singer, Vedang stated, “His singing skills were very poor.”

During an interview with The LallantopIndia Today’s sister channel, Vedang showcased his singing talent, leading the host to suggest that Imtiaz could make a Rockstar sequel with him. The young actor, pleased with the praise, mentioned that Rockstar is his favorite film.

Vedang said, “I have been the biggest fan of Ranbir’s Rockstar dubbing. I was very curious to always see the BTS of the film. I was curious to know whether Ranbir could sing or not. I had in mind that he should be a singer. His singing abilities were negative; they were very bad. But this also goes to show how good an actor he is.”

The Archies actor continued, “Being a singer, I also tried to recreate the lip syncs. Obviously, in the movie (Jigra), it was an exaggerated version, but I wanted to try to match its tone.” He added that lip syncing is not an easy task.

Actress Alia Bhatt, who also participated in the interview, mentioned that her late father-in-law, actor Rishi Kapoor, always told her son Ranbir to sing loudly to get the expressions right. “One thing Ranbir always shared was that his father asked him to sing loudly. If there is anyone who actually sang songs, it was Rishi Kapoor,” said Alia.

A behind-the-scenes video from the set of Imtiaz Ali’s 2011 film Rockstar circulated online in September. The video featured Ranbir as he shot for the song ‘Jo Bhi Main’. Since the video was shared with the original audio, people on the internet had fun with Ranbir’s singing skills.

Not just Ranbir, Vedang also mentioned being inspired by another member of the Kapoor clan. “Before The Archies, I had seen a lot of Shammi Kapoor videos. My character style was very similar to Elvis Presley, and I thought Shammi Kapoor suited him a lot. So I took inspiration from Shammi Kapoor,” the 24-year-old . said the old actor.

Vedang sang a heartfelt rendition of Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka, originally sung by the legendary Kishore Kumar, for Jigra. The film, directed by Vasan Bala, has not received a good response from the audience since its release on October 11.
