You need Raj, Prithviraj to make Awara again: Ranbir

Actor Ranbir Kapoor said on Tuesday he was not aware of any plans for his father Rishi Kapoor and him to reprise his great-grandfather Prithviraj and grandfather Raj Kapoor’s roles in “Awara”, saying one will have to get them and Nargis back to this world to make the film again.

“I live with my mum and dad, but so far, my dad has not told me anything about this.. I even read about it in the newspapers. I wouldn’t like to remake ‘Awara’ because you will have to get Raj Kapoor, Nargisji and Prithviraj Kapoor back to this world, then this film can be made again,” Ranbir told reporters during a promo for his new film “Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani” in Mumbai.

“I don’t think we have the capabilities to make a film like ‘Awara’. I wouldn’t like to touch it.”

‘Awara’, which was released in 1951, was directed by Raj Kapoor and featured him, Prithviraj Kapoor, Nargis, and K.N. Singh among others.
