"The entire Yash Raj team was all for casting Rishi Kapoor as Ranbir's boss. Only Adi (Aditya Chopra) thought the audiences would not accept Rishi Kapoor as a negative boss to his own son. We had to relent," said a source.
However, Rishi is all praise for Manish Choudhary who replaced him in the film. "Manish is the discovery of the year."
Talking about his son's performance in the film, Rishi said: "Ranbir has lived the character Rocket Singh, though I feel there should've been more Punjabiyat in his speech."
Ranbir, who has been waiting with bated breath to get his father's approval, is thrilled.
"Dad is my greatest critic. He's such a brilliant actor, I can never match him. When he said he liked my performance in 'Rocket Singh', I finally felt I had given a decent performance," said Ranbir.
