The 2011 film Rockstar, directed by Imtiaz Ali and starring Ranbir Kapoor, remains one of the most iconic movies in both the director’s and actor’s careers. The film became a cultural phenomenon, largely due to Ranbir Kapoor’s intense performance and AR Rahman’s unforgettable music, with most songs sung by the epic singer Mohit Chauhan. However, a behind-the-scenes video of Ranbir Kapoor singing the song ‘Jo Bhi Main’ in his own voice has recently gone viral, surprising fans across the internet.
In Rockstar, Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of the character Jordan was so convincing that many believed he was actually singing the songs himself. The viral video, shared on Instagram by youpopculturedose with the caption, “So you are telling me Jordan doesn’t sound like Mohit Chauhan,” shows Ranbir in character, wearing Jordan’s costume, playing a guitar, and singing “Jo Bhi Main” in his own voice during the shoot. The backdrop of the scene is a sea bridge, and while the scene is being shot, Ranbir’s singing, which is loud and not exactly melodic, has caught the attention of fans.
Fans reacted to this behind-the-scenes footage with mixed emotions. Some appreciated his commitment to acting, with one user commenting, “Acting so good, we always thought he is actually singing.” Others found the video amusing, with comments like, “Ye Sun ne ke baad Kagar ne Jordan Ke Do Naina chun chun ke khaye…..” and “Ye sunke nadan parinde Ghar se bhag gaye.”
Defending Ranbir Kapoor’s efforts, one user pointed out, “He is an actor, not a singer. To make it look real, he sang instead of lip-syncing.” Another added, “As an actor, he executed the scene flawlessly, despite not being a singer. It’s impressive both then and now. Thanks for sharing the behind-the-scenes footage.”
This behind-the-scenes clip highlights the collaborative effort that goes into filmmaking, showing how elements like acting, direction and music come together to create something special, turning Rockstar into a cultural phenomenon and a cult classic.
