Bombay Velvet is the kind of crippling disaster that is bound to stymie any actor's career. Ranbir Kapoor is saddened by the setback, but far from defeated. Says his pragmatic dad Rishi Kapoor, "We did speak about it. I have only one piece of advice for my son, 'Don't let success go to your head, and failure to your heart.' In his brief career so far he has seen quite a lot of ups and downs. And he's taken it all in his stride." Rishi Kapoor admits his son is not quite at the top of the world at the moment. "Ranbir is naturally disappointed by the outcome of Bombay Velvet. But it's okay. He will get over it. Setbacks are part of every actor's career. I am glad it's happening to him now when he recently started out. I also had more than my share of debacles after Bobby.

Incidentally, Ranbir not only shares a passion for music and cinema with Lataji, the two also share the same birthday (September 28). And, of course, Lataji was very close to Ranbir's grand-dad Raj Kapoor.Ranbir KapoorA close friend of Ranbir says, "Ranbir is a big fan of Kishore Kumar (Kk). His happiest moment as an actor was when he got to yodel like Kk in Saawariya and when he danced to a remix of Kk's Bachna ae haseenon. This is Ranbir's first biographical character. He doesn't want to impersonate the legendary singer.He wants to understand the inner life of Kishore Kumar.
