Boney Kapoor is among the busiest filmmakers today, and also set to appear in his first full-fledged role as an actor for the first time. The producer-actor recently came to Delhi to shoot for his upcoming film with director Luv Ranjan, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia.

Filmmaker Boney Kapoor has five films in production currently.

Asked how was it, facing the camera and that too amid a pandemic, he tells us, “It’s good to know what happens on the other side of the camera (laughs). I’m quite enjoying it. It’s a happy atmosphere on set, and it’s with Dimple, a person I’ve known for a long time. In fact, even before she started shooting for Bobby. I’ve been Chintu’s (late Rishi Kapoor) friend, and seen Ranbir grow. I didn’t interact with him much, and the same with Shraddha. Her father Shakti has worked in a couple of my films.”

Talking of the working amid the pandemic, The 65-year-old adds that one has to live with this kind of a situation, which is unravelling around us.

He further says that the precautions will be followed in the future not just for Covid-19, but will stay good for any time.

That said, the filmmaker asserts that the economy has to be revitalised, too. As a producer, he has five films on floors right now, all on pause.

“I just restarted a Tamil film, just 10 days of shoot is left. I have another Hindi film starting with my daughter Janhvi. Then another film with Ajith. Too many things are lined up, and they can’t be kept on pause for a long time. One has got to get used to this kind of life, keeping the safety factors in mind,” he ends.
