Ranbir Kapoor starrer hit cult film Rockstar has completed a decade since release. On the occasion, director Imtiaz Ali revealed how his passion project was conceived way before Ranbir became an actor and that he was not the first choice for the lead role of singer-musician Jordan in the film since the idea was conceived way before he kick-started journey in Bollywood.
Speaking to HT, Imtiaz said, “If a film is being discussed and its characters and situations are being dissected ten years after its release, that’s great. I think that a film belongs to its viewers more than its makers. I know there are people who own the movie much more than I do. I began trying to make Rockstar even before Ranbir became an actor. So, I was thinking of other actors to play this part. When I met Ranbir, he strangely knew the story of Rockstar. When he began telling me the story, I saw Jordan in him.”
