What is Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Burfi’ about?

After finishing Rockstar, actor Ranbir Kapoor is all charged up to play a speech challenged character in Anurag Basu’s film Burfi. So, what’s in the title Burfi? Is it the popular sweetmeat! Nope, that’s not what it exactly means.

Burfi is the name of Ranbir Kapoor’s character in the film. As per reports Ranbir’s name is Murphy but because of his speech impediment people think his name is Burfi. But the character is not a depressed individual. Rather he’s sharp, wily, witty, and has a wicked streak.

The story is also said to be inspired from a man named Burfi, who was a small-town crook of the 1970s. Many may think that it’s a contemporary film, but it’s not. Ranbir will be given three distinct looks for the film as he ages from 20 to 50 in the film. Ranbir has even grown French beard for one of his Burfi looks.
