Ranbir then continued by saying that he heard not just the actors and actresses but everybody in the film industry who used to come to the parties. From the people working in camera and production, everybody used to come and celebrate together. However, gradually, those parties stopped because there became too much of a crowd. It was unmanageable because anyone used to just walk in.

However, he does not want to direct any of the masterpiece movies made by Raj Kapoor. Ranbir quipped:

"They would turn out to be atrocious, just like my short films from acting school, which I've buried and ensured no one can see."
