Ranbir Kapoor look in Rajneeti

Ranbir Kapoor plays an NRI forced to return home to take over the family business (in this case, politics) in his new film Rajneeti.

And the characters is inspired by Al Pacino's Don Corleone in Francis Coppola's The Godfather. Ranbir, of course, plays a mixture of Rajiv Gandhi and Don Corleone in Rajneeti.

Ranbir Kapoor's appetite for getting right the speeches that he needs to deliver for Prakash Jha's film when he starts shooting in August.

There's just one hitch. Ranbir doesn't need to learn shuddh hindi, like Katrina did. He already knows that. He needs to cultivate an accent to sound like an America-returned Delhi boy who suddenly needs to go from monosyllabic rashtra bhasha to full-speeches.

Prakash Jha has planned intense reading and speech therapy sessions for Ranbir for him to get the accented Hindustani right.

To play a Harvard educated US-based NRI who must suddenly return home to look after his mother's political empire, Ranbir Kapoor in a role that Al Pacino would have liked to play, is not just all set to start shooting, he's raring to go.

Ranbir won't play the reluctant politician in the usual khadi kurta-pajama dress code. "Ranbir will be very trendily dressed. He plays a young man of today," informs the director.

Apparently, the character is a mix of Rajiv Gandhi and Michael Corloene from Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather.

Ranbir who joins the cast in August has been regularly calling and talking to the entire cast in Bhopal.

Ranbir is so excited about his look, and dialogues. He needs to play a character who defines democracy in today's world. Rajneeti is a multi-starrer rather multi-actor film.
