Netizens troll Ranbir Kapoor as he says ‘he would love to’ work in a Pakistani film as ‘there are no boundaries for artistes’

Ranbir Kapoor, who recently welcomed his first child with Alia Bhatt, made millions of heads turn with his magnetic appearance at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he also received the Variety International Vanguard Actor Award.

During an interactive session at the festival, Kapoor was asked if he would be open to the idea of working in a Pakistani film.


“Now we have a platform like Saudi Arabia where we can jointly do films, I would love to sign you for a film. Would you be willing to work with the Pakistani team along with your team in Saudi Arabia?” a Pakistani filmmaker asked the star.

Responding to the same, the Besharam (2013) actor said, “Of course, sir. I think there are no boundaries for artists, especially for arts.”

The actor even congratulated the Pakistan film industry for the worldwide success of Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan’s recently released film The Legend Of Maula Jatt (2022).

“It is one of the biggest hits we have seen in the last few years. Of course, I would love to,” he added.

As expected, his statement did not go down well with a number of his Indian fans and they took to Twitter to bash the actor.

One user wrote, “How shallow their patriotism is …for money… kuch bhi”.

Another wrote, “That’s like Mahesh Bhat's true son-in-law.”

“He should leave Indian citizenship and permanently settle in Pakistan. We will support this great move of Ranbir Kapoor,” wrote a third one.

A fourth user wrote, “Both Alia & Ranbir Kapoor should shift to Pakistan. They can comfortably eat beef there and work in Pakistani films.”

On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor has a few high-profile films in the works. He will next be seen in filmmaker Luv Ranjan’s yet-untitled film. Scheduled to hit screens on Holi 2023, the upcoming film also stars Shraddha Kapoor in the lead role. He also has Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal slated to release in 2023. The film also features Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol in lead roles.

These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
