Ranbir Kapoor, currently promoting Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana: Part 1,' revealed his long-held aspiration to direct movies. He has started writing a script, finding the creative process deeply rewarding and expressing immense respect for writers and directors.
Kapoor hopes to embark on his directorial journey within two to three years, prioritizing 'feel-good family dramas' reminiscent of films like 'Life is Beautiful' and Rajkumar Hirani's works. He explicitly stated he would not direct himself in his debut project.

This ambition echoes his family legacy, with his grandfather Raj Kapoor and father Rishi Kapoor both having directed films. Ranbir himself assisted his father on 'Aa Ab Laut Chalen' (1999). His upcoming acting roles include 'Love And War,' set for January 21, 2027.
