As someone who has been deeply immersed in Bollywood for decades, I can confidently say that Mira Kapoor’s wish for Shahid Kapoor to star in Rockstar is a dream shared by millions of fans. While Shahid has undoubtedly made a name for himself with his captivating performances, the raw intensity and emotional depth that Ranbir brought to Jordan in Rockstar is something truly exceptional.
Shahid Kapoor, a well-known Bollywood actor, and his wife Mira Kapoor frequently display admirable relationship benchmarks through their constant encouragement of one another. Though Shahid has achieved career success with numerous hit movies, Mira once mentioned that she thought it would have been interesting if he had played the lead in Ranbir Kapoor’s film Rockstar.
Indeed, you got it! On Karan Johar’s talk show, Koffee with Karan, during a fast-paced segment, Mira Kapoor was asked to name a film she wished Shahid Kapoor could have starred in. Without skipping a beat, she replied that it would have been the 2011 Hindi musical romantic drama Rockstar.
Imtiaz Ali revealed to Mid-Day that Rockstar almost didn’t become a movie. For several years, the project remained in limbo, with its story circulating among a small group of people, but it never fully materialized. However, everything changed when Ali met Ranbir Kapoor during a film screening.
Initially, Ali presented a different script idea to Kapoor, but what captured Kapoor’s interest was the narrative of Rockstar. So engrossed was Kapoor in the plot that he began retelling it to Ali during their conversation. This sudden shift caught Ali off guard, leading him to believe that Kapoor would be perfect for the role. When Ali asked if Kapoor (now known as Ranbir) would accept the film, he enthusiastically agreed. The meeting concluded with Ali assuring Kapoor that he’d return with the Rockstar script, confident that Ranbir was the ideal actor to breathe life into the story.
Imtiaz Ali’s movie, titled “Rockstar,” showcases Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri as its main actors, while Aditi Rao Hydari, Piyush Mishra, Shernaz Patel, Kumud Mishra, and Shammi Kapoor make up the solid supporting cast. The film’s soundtrack, masterfully created by A. R. Rahman, significantly enhances the movie’s charm.
The movie narrates the tale of Jordan, played by Ranbir, who transforms from an ordinary college student named Janardhan to a well-known yet troubled musician. His odyssey, characterized by personal hardships and sorrow, highlights both his creative triumphs and his slide into self-destruction.
In 2015, Shahid and Mira Kapoor got married in a private ceremony held in Gurugram. They became parents to a girl named Misha in 2016, and then welcomed their son, Zain, into the world in 2018.
