Imtiaz Ali's association with Ranbir Kapoor has given Bollywood two very memorable movies - Rockstar and Tamasha. Having worked closely with him, the filmmaker said that Ranbir's talent comes from the fact that he is interested and involved in the art of acting. In an interview with Mashable India, Imtiaz shared that Ranbir doesn't wait for the right script or character like other actors. "In Greek language, the word for talent and interest are the same. He has so much interest in this work that it has become the base of his talent. That is why he is so talented because he is actually interested," said the filmmaker.

This means that he doesn't need a reason to act. He doesn't think that 'if something good comes, then I will act.' So I think that is interesting," said the filmmaker, whose next directorial is Amar Singh Chamkila. Imtiaz Ali directed Ranbir Kapoor for the first time in the 2011 film Rockstar, in which the actor played the role of Janardhan aka Jordan. Infact, the first narration between the actor and director happened with Ranbir narrating the story. Imtiaz was discussing another story with Ranbir, when the actor brought up the story of Rockstar. Imtiaz shared, "He said, 'Sir there is a story of yours I heard about from a friend. You wanted to make it with John (Abraham) at that time. This is the story.' So actually the narration of the film happened with him telling me the story. When he was saying all this, I was looking at him and thinking, 'If this guy does this film, it would be so nice.' So I asked him 'You like this? You want to do it?'" Post that, Imtiaz made it a habit to discuss every draft and update that came to his mind with Ranbir because the actor was very interested. Imtiaz Ali's Amar Singh Chamkila, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra, will stream on Netflix from April 12.
