Vedang Raina shares his negative reaction to watching BTS video of Ranbir Kapoor singing in Rockstar: ‘Nothing special’
Ranbir Kapoor’s role as a singer in Rockstar is still considered iconic, with fans praising his flawless performance. Many were convinced by his impeccable lip-syncing in the movie, believing he could actually sing. However, perceptions changed when a viral behind-the-scenes video of his lip-syncing surfaced. Actor Vedang Raina, who looks up to Ranbir for inspiration, admitted that his opinion shifted after watching the video. In a recent interview, Vedang shared his reaction, saying ‘Kuch nahi, it was negative’.
During a recent interview with Lallantop, Vedang mentioned how he drew inspiration from Ranbir Kapoor’s Rockstar to sing and perform songs. He said, “Ranbir ki jo lip-syncing hai, I have always been a big fan of him, and he does it brilliantly. Toh mai bohot curious tha, and Rockstar meri favorite film hai, toh mai BTS dekhna chahta tha, ki wo actually gaa sakte hain ya nahi.”
(Vedang expressed his admiration for Ranbir Kapoor’s lip-syncing skills, praising how brilliantly Ranbir executes it. Intrigued by this and with Rockstar being his favorite film, he decided to watch the behind-the-scenes footage to see if Ranbir could actually sing).
He further explained, “Toh mai thoda bohot gaa leta tha, and mere dimaag mein tha, he must be a singer, kuch pitch toh hogi, but it was negative. Toh maine unse yeh pick up kiya ki, pitch-match karne ki koshish nahi karunga, mai bas performance pe dhyaan dunga.”
(Vedang shared that despite having some singing experience and expecting Ranbir to hit some correct pitches, it turned out differently. From this, he learned to prioritize performance over pitch matching.)
On the work front, Kapoor’s next project is Love and War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, where he will star alongside Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. Earlier reports from Pinkvilla suggested that filming for the movie began in the first week of October 2024, with Alia joining in December.
Kapoor is also set to appear in Ramayana Part One, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, featuring a star-studded cast including Sai Pallavi, Yash, and Sunny Deol. Additionally, he has Animal Park lined up in his future projects.
