"It was a very hard role and there were many days when I was, 'I can't do this,'" the actor said
Actor Ranbir Kapoor on Friday said he is not an angry person in real life and that worked against him initially when he took up the role of a fearless warrior in his upcoming movie Shamshera. Kapoor has collaborated with filmmaker Karan Malhotra for the period action movie, which chronicles the story of a dacoit fighting for the cause of his tribe and independence from the British.
At the film's trailer launch event here, Kapoor said he lacks "angst" as an actor and Malhotra had to work extra hard in tapping that side of his personality.
"It was very hard for me (to do this film). Karan held my hand. One thing I lack as an actor is angst. I am not an angry person. I am a fun-loving, happy and detached guy.
"Karan struggled with angst and we sat together a lot. He was like, 'how do I extract the emotion of anger from you for the character'. He started going deeper in my personal life, into my past, because he wanted to tap into that side of me," the 39-year-old actor told reporters.
