Late actress Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor is one of the busiest filmmakers today. He is also fully prepared to debut as an actor for the first time. Boney Kapoor recently came to Delhi to shoot for his upcoming film with director Luv Ranjan, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia.
When asked about facing the camera, that too in a pandemic, he said, “It’s good to know what happens on the other side of the camera (laughs). I’m quite enjoying it. It’s a happy atmosphere on set, and it’s with Dimple, a person I’ve known for a long time. In fact, even before she started shooting for Bobby. I’ve been Chintu’s (late Rishi Kapoor) friend and have seen Ranbir grow. I didn’t interact with him much, and the same with Shraddha. Her father Shakti has worked in a couple of my films.”
The producer-actor further added, “One has to live with this kind of situation, which is unravelling around us. “I don’t know… this fear of corona, or Covid-19 as you call it. There has been a first, then second wave, and the fear of the third wave. One has got to get used to living with safety in mind. What the pandemic has brought about, this is going to be something which will discipline the normal life of people also,” told Kapoor.
Boney Kapoor then said precautions will be followed in the future, not just for Covid-19. He then added that the economy needs to be revitalised. As a producer, 5 of his films are on hold.
At the end of the conservation, Boney Kapoor said, “I just restarted a Tamil film, just 10 days of shooting left. I have another Hindi film starting with my daughter Janhvi. Then another film with Ajith. Too many things are lined up, and they can’t be kept on pause for a long time. One has got to get used to this kind of life, keeping the safety factors in mind,”
