Rishi Kapoor's personality impacted Ranbir's role
Ranbir said, "Whenever I met Sandeep, I always asked him to give me a reference. I have never heard or felt such violence or arrogance so I needed a reference so that I can keep that in mind and play my role. I think subconsciously I kept my father (Rishi Kapoor) in mind. The way he used to talk, he was a very passionate and aggressive man. So I tried to keep him in my mind and then play my role."
