Rockstar Turns 14: Ranbir And Nargis’ Playful BTS Video Takes Fans Down Memory Lane

As Rockstar, Imtiaz Ali's iconic musical romance, marks its 14th anniversary on November 11, 2025, actress Nargis Fakhri delighted fans with a nostalgic behind-the-scenes video showcasing her playful camaraderie with co-star Ranbir Kapoor during the film's shoot. The 2011 cult classic, which launched Nargis' Bollywood career opposite Ranbir's transformative portrayal of aspiring musician Jordan, continues to captivate audiences with its raw emotion, AR Rahman's Oscar-winning score, and timeless tracks like "Kun Faya Kun" and "Jo Bhi Main."

Nargis, who played the enigmatic Heer, shared the clip on Instagram, captioning it: "Rockstar wasn’t just a film — it was a journey that changed me & my life completely. Heer was written as a character, but she breathed with my heartbeat. #Rockstar #Heer #jordan #14YearsOfRockstar #love #111111." The post, amassing thousands of likes within hours, evokes the film's enduring legacy, blending heartbreak, rebellion, and soul-stirring music that earned Ranbir a Filmfare Best Actor award.

The video captures light-hearted moments from the sets, including a fun wrestling bout between Ranbir and Nargis that ends with both tumbling to the ground in laughter, highlighting the genuine bond that fuelled their on-screen chemistry. Other snippets show Ranbir goofing around with props, practising guitar riffs, and sharing inside jokes with the crew, offering a glimpse into the camaraderie that defined the production. Shot across Prague, Delhi, and Kashmir, Rockstar was groundbreaking for its reverse shooting—beginning with the climax—and Ranbir's method immersion, where he lived as Jordan for months. Nargis, a former Miss USA, credited the role with reshaping her perspective, noting in the caption how Heer's complexity mirrored her own growth, transforming her from model to multifaceted performer.

Fans flooded the comments with nostalgia, praising Nargis' "perfect" embodiment of Heer and calling the film their "all-time favorite" for its raw portrayal of unrequited love and artistic torment. One user wrote, "You were perfect as Heer," while another added, "None better than you could have done this role." The post reignites appreciation for supporting cast like Aditi Rao Hydari, Piyush Mishra, and the late Shammi Kapoor in his final role, alongside Rahman's soundtrack that swept awards. Rockstar's themes of self-discovery through pain resonate today, influencing modern rom-dramas.

This anniversary tribute arrives as Ranbir thrives in Animal sequels and family life with Alia Bhatt, while Nargis balances Hollywood and Telugu projects like Hari Hara Veera Mallu. Ali's mastery in crafting visceral romances—seen in Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal—shines through Rockstar, a benchmark for Bollywood's musical evolution. Nargis' share not only celebrates the milestone but also reminds fans why Jordan and Heer's story endures: a testament to love's chaotic beauty.
