Ranbir Kapoor

Talented, versatile and a powerhouse in his own way, Ranbir is one of the most popular actors in the younger lot.

The buzz is that fans are eagerly waiting for the film and to witness Ranbir essaying the role of a an actor who is loved by all age groups. With the release of trailer and teasers, Ranbir has already won hearts across the globe for nailing the character.
