'Thoda Pyaar... is not a Mr India'
Ranbeer Talwar (Saif Ali Khan), one of the country's top industrialists, is a loner, not out of his free will but just because he lost everyone, he ever loved. Life turns around 360 degrees when he faces the most uncomfortable situation of his life. Saif Ali Khan talks about his forthcoming film, Thoda Pyaar ThodaMagic...
What do you think about the music of Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic?
Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy are talented musicians. Ehsaan is a fabulous guitarist. I have tremendous respect for them. I think it says something about a filmmaker when he uses the trio in a film. We have songs of various genres in this album. My favourite song is Nihaal Ho Gayi and also Lazy Lamhe.
Tell us something about the character you play in the film.
I play Ranveer Talwar in the film. He is an efficient businessman. He’s had a very lonely childhood. It’s probably the most fascinating character I have played. He is so successful in life but extremely disciplined and organized at the same time. He has got this weird butler who looks after his stuff. He’s lot a hot girlfriend as well but he doesn’t take her too seriously. He is never comfortable in dealing with the four orphan kids or his girlfriend. But he is extremely professional when it comes to business. He is a real hero with his goodness and flaws.
What enticed you to take up the project?
Kunal Kohli and I have worked together in Hum Tum. I was abroad shooting for Race in Durban and he sent me this sms about the plot in four lines. It said, it's a story about this guy who has to deal with four orphans and Rani Mukherji comes down as an angel and helps to sort out things. I thought it’s in the genre of films like Mary Poppins or Sound of Music and there is something modern and different about it. Even Mr India, Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke are in the same league. But at the same time, I was confident that Kunal would make something different.
