Aditi Rao Hydari says Ranbir Kapoor is her favourite actor
A famous actress named Aditi Rao Hydari once made a video where she said very nice things about another actor, Ranbir Kapoor.
She said he is one of her favourite actors.
The two acted together in a movie called Rockstar in 2011.
She said working with him was exciting and that he is really, really good at his job.
She also said nice things about a famous movie director named Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
People are watching that old video again now.
That is because Ranbir Kapoor is starring in a big new movie called Ramayana, where he plays the brave prince Lord Rama.
The movie is very expensive and will be released in two parts.
The news stories do not agree on the date — one says the first part comes on November 6, and another says it comes at Diwali in 2026.
In a resurfaced Humans of Bombay interview, Aditi Rao Hydari called Ranbir Kapoor one of her favourite actors.
She said working with Kapoor in Imtiaz Ali's 2011 film Rockstar was 'mad' and described him as 'incredible' and 'so present.'
Hydari also praised Sanjay Leela Bhansali, saying she was 'mesmerised' and 'overwhelmed' on his set, which she visited days after finishing a Mani Ratnam film.
She will next appear in Prime Video's Welcome to Khoya Mahal, created by Konkona Sensharma and Jaydeep Sarkar.
The clip resurfaced as Kapoor promotes Nitesh Tiwari's reported ₹4,000-crore Ramayana, though articles differ on the release: one cites November 6 and Diwali 2027, another cites Diwali 2026 for Part One.
