My father won't give compliments for free, says Ranbir Kapoor on Rishi Kapoor's video

Mumbai: Ranbir Kapoor says it is hard to please his father, veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, but her mother Neetu has always been her biggest fan.

The 35-year-old actor said his father never compliments him and only pushes him to work harder.

Rishi, however, recently praised Ranbir's portrayal of Sanjay Dutt in upcoming biopic, 'Sanju' and the young actor says he was touched by it.

Ranbir quoted, "Besides being my father, he is also an actor I really admire and respect... He never tells me to my face that I've done good work, not that I expect it either. But when you hear such words coming from him, it is incredible, it really moved me, made me emotional."

"Every father wants their son to do well, but my father is very careful that he won't give compliments for free. He always tells us 'kasar reh gayi hai, work harder' (There is still scope for improvement, work harder)'. This was a wonderful gift," he said at the trailer launch of 'Sanju'.

Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, 'Sanju' also features Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Dia Mirza, Sonam Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.

The film's music is presented by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and is scheduled to release on June 29.
