Now that Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year is releasing on December 11,here’s a little trivia: The Kada he’s wearing in the film was given to Ranbir by Yash Chopra who got it from the Golden temple in Amritsar. “It’s like a blessing!” The character’s name is Harpreet Singh Bedi,a fresh graduate who is totally into sales “because more than marks and grades,it’s the intelligence and exposure,people’s respect that matters the most.”

To get into the life and times of the character,the director Shimit Amin insisted Ranbir understand how an office works. “I was totally alien to this world. Shimit wanted me to have a look at how an office runs,so we used to hang out in the Yash Raj corporate offices. He even played some DVDs on offices! Even our set was an office! So it was like never being out of office! Because of this,we used to be so engrossed in our characters,that most of the time we ended up calling each other by our character names!” shares Ranbir

Harpreet’s grandfather is played by Prem Chopra. As for Harpreet,“He’s modern,goes to parties,plays cricket…I think the character is about the youth of the country. It’s about the youth consumed by the desire of the brighter future,youth with honesty,integrity and a clear heart. They want to earn money,but they have to choose a path and do it the right way.” Let’s see what Harpreet chooses. According to Ranbir,he is really brave,and what he does is amazing. We’ll see the little pocket mein rocket!
