Ranbir in red light area???

First he made arrangements with Sunil Shetty to get footage of Bryan Adam’s concert for his film Rockstar (Mumbai Mirror, February 14, 2011). And now we hear that Imtiaz Ali got his lead actor Ranbir Kapoor to serenade the workers of Mumbai’s biggest red light district in Grant Road for a sequence in the film.

A source informed Mumbai Mirror that the film features a scene with Ranbir playing the guitar and singing to an audience of sex workers. “And Imtiaz Ali was keen on shooting at an actual brothel, instead of creating a set and using junior artists.

On the day of the shoot, the women were excited to meet Ranbir. Initially, they were also nervous about the shoot. They welcomed the crew and also served them the local breakfast of chai and pav. After a short introductory session and some light hearted conversation, they commenced shooting,” explained the source.

Reportedly, Ranbir, who has been learning to play the guitar for his role in the film, serenaded the ladies and sang the verses himself.

The source added, “The sex workers were very shy initially. They were reluctant to face the camera. But Imtiaz and Ranbir spent some time talking to them to make them more comfortable. And then they commenced shooting.”
