Dharmendra is currently busy with Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, where he is starring alongside Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan, Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh. The veteran actor has been receiving immense love from both the audiences and critics, and he couldn’t be happier.
When asked about how he feels about doing a romantic role even today, Dharmendra exclaimed, “I have great feelings. I will be giving another film… ek aur deta hoon!”
The movie features an emotional and heart-rending saga, with beautiful golden era songs that add an extra touch of emotion. On this, Dharmendra had nothing but praises for the songs, saying “the songs are wonderful.” He also expressed his feelings of portraying his character in the movie, saying “I had these feelings that the romance of a youthful couple is born through my romantic saga. This romantic saga has been depicted par excellence by Karan Johar.”
The actor is renowned for his romanticism in real life, and when asked if he felt lucky to be so loved and respected by the audience, he said “Indeed, I’m romantic at heart! We actors exist because of the love of our junta. I’m blessed that they shower their love on me even today.”
The chemistry between Dharmendra and Shabana was much talked about. On this, the actor said “It was good. It is normal for us, you know. I have been performing for the last 60 years so it is very normal performing different relevant scenes that support the story. We only care to give our best.”
When asked about his experience working with the other actors, Dharmendra expressed his admiration for them. He said “Working with Jaya, Shabana and others was indeed a great feeling. They all had huge respect for me. It was an emotional ride all through working with them. All have given their best. Bahut maza aaya sab ke saath kam karke.”
He also had nothing but praises for Ranveer and Alia, who have portrayed their characters brilliantly. “I have always admired Ranveer’s performance right from his very first film. He is a very good actor. He ignites a brightness and lively atmosphere on the sets with his childlike enthusiasm. He is a ladla beta,” he said.
Dharmendra also expressed how happy he is to be in front of the camera, saying “I love acting madly. Deewangi thi mujhe acting ki. I haven't done any acting course. God has blessed me with so many qualities good and bad - achche bure lakshan sab diye hain mujhe.”
When asked about his opinion on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, he said “It has an assimilation with all the ingredients much needed for a family film. The film is also serving it with the much needed modern tadka which will keep the audiences glued to the screen.”
Talking about Karan Johar’s 25th year in direction, Dharmendra said “I had written... Karan jab jab aayega, Johar pey Johar dikhla kar jayega!”
Finally, when asked about what he would like to say for his grandson, Rajveer’s debut with a romantic role in Dono, he said “My grandson is a simple beta. He is playing a good role in his debut film. But I have not heard the story. When children grow up they take their own decisions in their life. Mein kitni sallah deta rahunga. I wouldn’t like to just shower praises on him as he is just beginning his career. We all know this is a strange line. We face ups and downs. However, it's part and parcel of our life.”
