Ranbir Kapoor turns to stone! No we are not kidding but apparently that is a part of his role in Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani.
The film shows that Ranbir has a habit of talking to an icon that stands in the centre of the town. And one fine day, he finds that that icon looks like him. Ranbir was absolutely charged about turning into a figurine.
Interestingly, it took four hours to turn Ranbir into a sculpted figure. Makeup man Vikram Gaikwad had to really work hard on the look. A source said, “Once the make up was done, Ranbir would have to just stand till the shot was canned, and.

Delhi 6 has released and Sonam Kapoor has seen some good feedback coming her way in spite of a screen presence which isn't quite dominating throughout the film's narrative. Boasting of an ensemble cast, Delhi 6 had a dozen odd characters and those who were hoping to see a lot more of Sonam were left asking for more. "Well, let's not talk about whether the length of the role is big or small. The fact is that I have a great three dimensional role in the movie and that's what that matters", says Sonam without any hint of regret, "This is a girl who wants to do a lot in life and the scenes that I have got are amazing. I firmly believe that sometimes you can make a big impact in just four scenes when compared to a film where you could be present for 80% of its running length.
