Ranbir Kapoor's Fan Calls Him Ranveer Singh From Dhurandhar, Ramayana Star REACTS: 'That Is A...'

An X user has gone viral for saying that he pulled Ranbir Kapoor’s leg by pretending to confuse him for Ranveer Singh and praising his performance in Dhurandhar. This happened at the teaser launch of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, at a special screening in Los Angeles.

The X user, named Vishal Mishra, wrote, “I told him I loved his work in Dhurandhar, and he started saying, ‘No, that is a different Ranveer… ‘ before @niteshtiwari22 cut him off and told him I was pulling his leg with the Dream11 ad!” Have a look at the viral X post here:

For the unversed, last year, Ranbir Kapoor teamed up with Aamir Khan and cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jaspreet Bumrah, and Rishabh Pant for a fun ad that had gone viral. In the ad, Aamir mistakenly called Ranbir “Singh”, referring to Ranveer Singh, and Ranbir wasn’t too happy about it.

In the ad, Aamir introduced Ranbir as “Tumhari generation ka sabse bada star, Ranbir Singh.” Aamir and Ranbir teamed up for a series of ads for the brand, and in one of them, Ranbir himself mistakenly said that his name was “Ranbir Singh” instead of “Ranbir Kapoor”. Interestingly, the campaign was directed by Nitesh Tiwari, who has now directed Ranbir’s Ramayana.

While Ranbir Kapoor’s first look as Rama is all set to be unveiled on April 2, a teaser of the film was played at a special screening in LA. Ranbir was seen thanking his fans during the event. “Thanks for coming here. This is really a very special moment for me to come with our labour of love and to show it to you all. You guys are actually the absolute first people to ever see this, and we couldn’t be happier,” he said.

He added, “Lord Ram has been the conscience keeper of billions of people around the globe for centuries. He enlightens us about the triumph of the human spirit. He stands for compassion, for courage, for righteousness and forgiveness, and is called Maryada Purushottam, which stands for an ideal man.”

While Ranbir Kapoor is playing the role of Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi will be seen as Goddess Sita. KGF star Yash will be seen as Ravana in this movie. Sunny Deol and Ravie Dubey will play the roles of Hanuman and Lakshman, respectively. On the other hand, Kajal Aggarwal and Rakul Preet Singh will be seen as Mandodri and Surpanakha. Arun Govil, Kunal Kapoor, Adinath Kothare, Sheeba Chaddha and Indira Krishnan are also part of this project.

Ramayana Part I is slated for a theatrical release this Diwali, while the second chapter will release on Diwali 2027.
