Hope 'Tamasha' will work after three rejections: Ranbir

Actor Ranbir Kapoor, whose last three movies "Bombay Velvet", "Roy" and "Besharam" were box office duds, is now hoping that audiences will like his forthcoming film "Tamasha", directed by Imtiaz Ali.

"Audience will see me in November. They were not ready to see me in my last three films, so I am hoping that when promo and song of 'Tamasha' will come, audience will like it," Ranbir told reporters on the sidelines of Lakme Fashion Week Winter-Fesrtive 2015.

Unlike reports that say that the trailer of "Tamasha" will be released on Ranbir's birthday, the actor said that it has been fixed for different date.

"The trailer of 'Tamasha' will be launched on September 21 or 22, and my birthday is on September 20," said the actor.

Ranbir, who walked the ramp for designer Manish Malhotra at the fashion gala that is taking place at Palladium hotel, also said his girlfriend Katrina Kaif is among the most stylish actresses in Bollywood.

"Katrina is very fashionable", he said, before adding that "I think Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Parineeti Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are fashionable too."

Asked about stylish male actors, Ranbir quickly answered that he likes his own style and added: "Amitabh Bachchan is one name that comes to my mind. I think style is not about clothes but personality and the way Bachchan sir talks, walks and his humility, everything is stylish."

The actor, who has achieved a place in Bollywood thanks to his portrayal of different characters in films- whether it is coming-of-age role in "Wake Up Sid", a troubled musician in "Rockstar", a deaf and mute prankster in "Barfi!" and an aggressive man of great ambitions in "Bombay Velvet", says that always make sure of looking good whenever he step out from his house.

"We face opinions whenever we step out from our house. We face so many judgments so if I am facing bad hair day, I opt for a cap or if I am facing dark circle, I go for spectacles. I am a jeans, sneakers and t-shirt person, but yeah, in my personal life, I make an effort to look good," he said.

About his current projects, Ranbir said: "Right now I am gearing up for Karan Johar's film 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'. Then Ayan Mukherjee will start his film in June and he hasn't finalised the title yet. He is closest friend and a very fine director."

The actor is flying to London for "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil".
