A source from the production house revealed that Ayan had put in a request a week ago for a private screening of the uncut version. He has been scripting his own superhero film and was keen to watch Deadpool.

Ranbir's character in the flick is called The Dragon, a dark anti-hero plagued by his emotions and a growing disdain for things around him, much like Deadpool.
