Family First: Ranbir Kapoor breaks into an impromptu dance routine like his granduncle in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani

What is not known so far is that Ranbir has also paid tribute to his granduncle, Shammi Kapoor, in one of the film's sequences.

Ranbir emulates Shammi Kapoor's legendary unpredictable dance steps for a sequence where his character is required to break into impromptu dance routine.

Ranbir suggested they keep the dancing as real as possible and director Rajkumar Santoshi agreed.

"It's a scene where I'm fooling around with Katrina. Yes, I did do some Shammi Kapoor movements. There was no choreographer. It's supposed to be funny and stupid," said Ranbir.

In Saawariya, Ranbir had pulled off his other granduncle Shashi Kapoor's steps in a song-and-dance sequence.

As for doing his father Rishi Kapoor's dance steps, Ranbir said they will take time. "It would need a lot of guts," he added.
