Ranbir to shed his loverboy image with a deaf and mute role

Spicezee Bureau Mumbai: Having carved a niche for himself with the loverboy roles, Ranbir Kapoor is now looking forward to gain some maturity, as far his roles are concerned. The actor is looking forward to go for an extreme image makeover with a hardcore serious role in maverick director Anurag Basu’s next film. Set to play physically challenged character, Ranbir is reportedly set to shed aside his cute boy looks for an unconventional role. Believe it or not but the actor will be seen essaying a deaf and mute character in Basu’s film. The film will have the dashing Kapoor romancing two ladies. Trying hard to stay away from casting a stereotypical image, sources state that the complexities in the character were the main reasons behind the actor’s inclination towards the role. Talking about the actor’s character in Basu`s film, the source told a daily, "It`s a very difficult role. Even though it has shades of humour, the guy Ranbir plays is very complex. During the narration, Ranbir was a bit hesitant, not knowing if he would be able to play a deaf and mute guy, but Basu convinced him otherwise."
