The trailer of the film was released recently with much pomp and show. The actor also interacted with the media across the country and answered everyone's curiosity.

"I quit smoking for four months, then started rolling cigarettes again just last month – just one or two a day. It’s something I’m scared of because I’ve been a nicotine addict since I was 15, and it’s the worst kind of addiction. It’s taken me trips to Austria, to this doctor who gave me injections in my ears, to help me quit smoking the first time, because I don’t think I have the willpower to give it up on my own. But vaping isn’t working for me either – you can’t leave one habit for another. Eventually it’ll just come back more ferociously," Ranbir has elaborated in the interview.

The story also has him talking about his relationship with actress Alia Bhatt. That's one question he can't escape these days. And he didn't even try to this time, rather gave an interesting answer. He said, "It’s really new right now, and I don’t want to over speak. It needs time to breathe and it needs space. As an actor, as a person, Alia is – what’s the right word? – flowing right now. When I see her work, when I see her act, even in life, what she gives is something that I’m aspiring to for myself. It’s new for us, so let it cook a bit".

Believe him or not, you can't deny he's a charmer!
