Srinath Maganti reveals Ranbir Kapoor doesn’t come with an entourage
On the Sodhi Chebutha podcast, Srinath Maganti shared how working with Ranbir Kapoor in ‘Animal’ was a learning experience for him. He said, “It’s a huge learning experience. His grandfather (Raj Kapoor) is a star, his father (Rishi Kapoor) is a star, and he himself is a star. The dedication he has, whoa!”Srinath further shared that the ‘Ramayana’ actor doesn’t come to the sets of the movie with any kind of starry tantrums. He said, “Ranbir Kapoor does not come with an entourage. When he comes on set, a huge plate filled with healthy chips, biscuits, chocolates, and all kinds of snacks is brought along. It’s for the people around him on set.”
The actor added that one can pick anything from the plate if the person is hungry. He then recalled one incident that happened when he tried to pick one snack from the plate. Srinath said, “I remember when I first took a snack, someone told me, ‘Yeh sir ka hai (this belongs to sir). I was like, ‘Itna khate kya sir (does sir eat this much)?’ Ranbir overheard and was like, ‘Aye c***iye, khaane de (let him eat).’ He’s not abusive, but he’s the kind to cuss with love.“
