Ranbir Kapoor fan praises his 'Dhurandhar performance'. Here's how he responded
A fan's playful Dhurandhar comment to Ranbir Kapoor at the Ramayana teaser launch sparked a witty response. Here's what happened next.
A light-hearted exchange involving Ranbir Kapoor at the Los Angeles teaser launch of Ramayana has caught attention online after a fan told him he “loved” his work in Dhurandhar. The comment, referencing a film headlined by Ranveer Singh, prompted Kapoor to respond with a quick clarification that sparked laughter at the event.
According to posts from attendees, Kapoor smiled and pointed out the mix-up, saying the fan was referring to “a different Ranveer”. Director Nitesh Tiwari then stepped in to reveal that the moment was intentional, alluding to a popular advertisement that plays on the actors’ similar names.
What exactly happened at the event?
The exchange took place during the unveiling of the Ramayana teaser in Los Angeles. An attendee, who later shared a selfie with Kapoor online, explained that the comment was a playful nod to a well-known ad campaign. Kapoor appeared amused and took the joke in stride, drawing laughter from those present.
The moment quickly circulated on social media, adding a lighter note to an otherwise high-profile launch event.
What is the ‘Dhurandhar’ reference about?
The fan’s remark referenced filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar franchise, which stars Ranveer Singh. The original film, released last year, recorded strong box office numbers, while its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, has also performed notably well.
The films follow an Indian spy navigating covert operations, with a cast that includes Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt and R Madhavan.
Why was the confusion intentional?
The joke draws from a Dream11 advertisement featuring Aamir Khan, where Kapoor is repeatedly addressed as “Ranbir Singh”, leading to a comedic exchange. The reference has since become a recurring pop culture gag among fans.
Meanwhile, Kapoor is gearing up for Ramayana, where he plays Lord Ram. The film also stars Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey, Kajal Aggarwal and Rakul Preet Singh. The project features music by Hans Zimmer and A R Rahman.
The two-part film is slated for release during Diwali in 2026 and 2027.
