You already know that with Besharam, Ranbir Kapoor will be seen on-screen for the first time with both his parents, Rishi and Neetu. But did you know that Rishi Kapoor bagged the role because of Ranbir?

Apparently, director Abhinav Kashyap had mentioned to Ranbir that they needed to cast a senior actor to play the role of a cop in the film. Ranbir simply commented at that time that his father had never played the role of a police officer in all 40-plus years of his career. That obviously got everyone’s attention, and soon Rishi Kapoor was on-board, completing the Kapoor khandaan trifecta.

Abhinav Kashyap says:

“I am excited to have all three of them in my film. I didn’t know that Rishiji had never played a cop in his entire career. I was so excited to have Rishiji and Neetuji play cops for the first time.”
