Ranbir Kapoor wants to play negative roles in the movies but says that no director at present is ready to accept him in such a role.
Ranbir while talking to media on the sidelines of the first edition of the Times Of India Film Awards (TOIFA) in Vancouver said, "I would love to play a negative role, something that is like an anti-hero. Something without guitars, rose and without a heroine. I have been asking this for quite a long time, and I hope the directors are hearing me out and come out with scripts like that".
Ranbir will host the awards on Saturday night.
Indian cinema is celebrating its 100 years, and Ranbir says a significant change over time is the fact that there are "challenging roles for actors today, unlike past when an actor kept on doing same kind of roles for three to four years".
"I think the time when films like 'Dil Chahta Hai' and 'Lagaan' came into being, that was the period when we noticed the slight switch in storytelling. I think cinema has kind of evolved after that. Also, I think every hero was playing the same character over three to four years in the past, but right now there is so much diversity in characters," 30-year-old further added.
"There are so many challenging roles now. There are more stories to tell. Back then, there were more society problems (in films). Now, we have wider things to make".
Of late, Bollywood has seen a lot of remakes but Ranbir doesn't care much for remakes.
"I don't believe in remakes and so far I haven't done it. I never say never, but golden films can never be made again. I am very happy with the kind of original work that is going around in the industry," he said.
The actor will be next seen in "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani". The film, directed by Ayan Mukerji, also stars Deepika Padukone, Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur. It will release on May 31.
