When asked about his role and more details regarding the untitled film by Luv Ranjan, starring Kapoor with the ‘Street Dancer’ actor, the former (without giving away much) said, “I don’t know it is probably going to be one of the last romantic comedies I do because I am getting older.”


On his statement, Kapoor, 40, was cheered by the audience saying he is getting younger by each day.

To note, while the versatile actor has covered almost all genres in his career spanning 15 years, some of his top hits including ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’, ‘Wake Up Sid’, ‘Ajab Prem ki Ghazab Kahani’, ‘Anjaana Anjaani’, ‘Barfi’

and ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ were all the rom-com flicks.

Speaking of age, Kapoor also shared his biggest insecurity at the festival and was heard saying, “My biggest insecurity is that when my children are 20 and 21, I will be 60 years old.”

“Will I be able to play football with them? Will I be able to run with them?” he regretted.

Speaking of the ‘crime thriller’ and a ‘gangster film’, he detailed the character as something which ‘is quite shocking’ and has ‘shades of grey’, something which he has ‘never done’ before.
