Actor Vedang Raina, who is playing the role of Alia Bhatt's brother in Jigra, was in Delhi for the promotions of their movie.
During his visit to Delhi, he spoke with news site Lallantop, where the Jigra actor revealed that his lip-sync in the movie's title track was inspired from Ranbir Kapoor.
He said, "Ranbir ki jo lip-syncing hain... I've always been his biggest fan, and he does it brilliantly. I've always wanted to see the BTS of Rockstar to see if he could actually sing. I thought he must be a singer, kuch nahi (nothing)…it was negative. His real-life singing is really bad. It goes to show how good he is (at acting)."
Alia also defended Ranbir, and said that it just goes to show how well he acted in the film.
Vedang also stated that he might not be a big fan of Kapoor's singing but he was inspired by him when it was time to shoot for the title track of Jigra. “I tried to recreate his lip-sync. Obviously, in the film, it was an exaggerated version, but I wanted to try matching his pitch,” he explained.
To this, Alia added, "One thing Ranbir would always share was that his father would ask him to sing loudly if there is anybody who truly sung songs, that was Rishi Kapoor."
Vedang also shared that he drew inspiration from none other than \the legendary actor Shammi Kapoor. "Before The Archies, I had seen a lot of his videos. My character style was very similar to Elvis Presley, and I thought Shammi Kapoor matched very closely with him. So I drew inspiration from Shammi Kapoor," he said.
Alia Bhatt and Vasan Bala, the director of Jigra were also a part of this interview.
Alia Bhatt, Vedang Raina's Jigra is currently running in the theatres, it clashed with Rajkummar Rao, Triptii Dimri's Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.
On the other hand, Divya Khosla Kumar accused Alia bhatt for announcing fake collections of the movie "Jigra". She said "#AliaBhatt me sach mein bahut #Jigra hai. Khud hi tickets karide aur fake collections announce kar diye. Wonder why paid media is silent. #weshdnotfooltheaudience #truthoverlies #HappyDussehra."
