Director Anurag Kashyap says he had decided to take ranbir Kapoor in Barfi ever before he started writing the script. Basu, who has directed film like gangster, Murder, life In a Metro and kites, says he did not have any one else in mind for the central protagonist in case Ranbir Would have Declined the film.
"When I started work on the film, it was on a blank slate. As I started moving ahead with the story, I realized that the only person who would fit into the role was Ranbir. All other characters, including that Priyanka, came in later, "Basu Said.
Ranbir is playing a deaf and mute young man in the film and the young star's character is influenced by Charlie Chaplin, who was also a favorite with his grandfather rajkapoor.
"The Chaplin influence was not there in the script when ranbir came on board. It is just that as we progressed, it was felt that certain scene would be elevated if ranbir got into the mode. There is silence in the film, something which is the core of it, and there is a Chaplin layer it as well. However, Rangier is not imitating Chaplin the film," Basu said.
The director says the first thing he explained to Ranbir was the film's title, which is also his tar’s name in the film. "I explained to him that the film's title was closed once it was realized that this was turning out to be a very sweet film. The name has definite relevance in the film; it is heard at a very important juncture in the film because of the way this sound is heard for the first time, “He added.
