Ranbir Kapoor’s birthday came with more than the usual stream of celebrity wishes. Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai marked the occasion with a deeply personal note on why the actor means so much to him, blending family history, affection and professional admiration into one heartfelt tribute. The message also carried a striking prediction about Ranbir’s future on screen, making it one of the standout birthday shoutouts of the day.
Subhash Ghai’s Five Reasons For Admiring Ranbir Kapoor
In his birthday message, Ghai wrote, “I love him as my top ten for my joy in my life. I have 5 genuine reasons for loving him always 1. He is 4 th generation of superstar in kapoor family I have been very close to them 2. He is pure genuine self-aware person with out any airbag of his star family 3. He has proved himself as an actor in depth n versatility 4. He is a son of my v dear friends #RISHI KAPOOR n Neetu Kapoor 5. I directed him first when he was eight in my musical short pyar ki ganga bahe’ (sic)”.
The post carried the warmth of a bond that goes back decades. Ghai has shared a long association with the Kapoor family and directed Ranbir’s father Rishi Kapoor in Karz, giving his words the weight of someone who has seen the family’s cinematic legacy from close quarters.
A Big Vote Of Confidence For Ramayana
Ghai also used the moment to look ahead, expressing his confidence in Ranbir’s next major film in words that left no room for doubt. He wrote, “N trust me he is gonna score as a SUPER ACTOR on screen worldwide in #RAMAYAN’ A very happy birthday to you. Ranbir (sic)”.
That endorsement stands out because Ramayana is already among the most closely watched Hindi film projects on the horizon. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film features Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, with Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Yash as Ravana. The first part is scheduled to arrive in theatres on November 6, 2026.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Ranbir’s recent filmography has underlined both his range and his commercial strength. In 2022, he featured in Shamshera and Brahmastra Part One: Shiva. In 2023, he followed those with Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and the blockbuster Animal, a film that further cemented his hold on the box office and pushed his screen persona into darker, more intense territory.
His next confirmed release is Ramayana. It is one of the biggest titles in his upcoming slate. He is also attached to Love & War, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film co-starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, which is currently lined up for 2027. Together, these projects continue to place him at the centre of some of Hindi cinema’s most ambitious productions.
That is what gives Ghai’s birthday message its added resonance. It was a powerful endorsement from a filmmaker who has watched Ranbir from childhood and now sees him carrying forward a celebrated legacy with another major screen chapter ahead.
