Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Rockstar’ is considered a classic. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, it’s not just a movie but an emotional journey, especially with its amazing soundtrack. Diljit Dosanjh, who collaborated with Ali on ‘Amar Singh Chamkila,’ shared his thoughts on the film. Diljit revealed that after watching ‘Rockstar,’ he tried to tap into his own inner pain like Ranbir’s character did in the movie. Did he manage to do so? Let’s find out…
Diljit Dosanjh shares his thoughts about Ranbir Kapoor and Imtiaz Ali movie Rockstar:
In a Film Companion interview, Diljit Dosanjh was questioned about the link between art and pain. The singer-actor admitted he struggled with this, as he never faced much hardship before. Diljit pondered how, despite being a dedicated artist, he could achieve the level of ‘pagalpan’ (madness) portrayed by Ranbir Kapoor in ‘Rockstar.’
Diljit admits he hasn’t faced much pain in life. Inspired by Ranbir Kapoor’s performance in ‘Rockstar,’ he tried to tap into his own pain. However, he couldn’t find any. Diljit praised Ranbir’s portrayal but realized he didn’t need to force emotions. He decided to continue his journey without dwelling on pain.
Imtiaz Ali also reacts to the connection between art and pain:
Director Imtiaz Ali explains that he once believed pain was necessary for great art. However, his perspective changed over time. He admits he used to think that experiencing heartbreak or pain could lead to creating something extraordinary. But as he matured, he realized it’s not always the case. Imtiaz shares that he made ‘Rockstar’ because he wanted to explore how one becomes successful, not just through suffering but also through other experiences in life.
