Actor Ranbir Kapoor fresh from the success of Bachna Ae Haseeno is ready to don the cap of director.

Ranbir Kapoor is planning to chart out his career as a versatile actor-director-writer like his famous grand father Raj Kapoor. He wishes to take forward the legacy that Raj Kapoor gifted his family.

“I’ll star in the film and direct it. Is that too much responsibility?” an enthusiastic Ranbir Kapoor quipped. “I’m passionate about being a director. I’ve lots to say. And I hope audiences accept me as a director as much as they have as an actor,” he said.

Ranbir hopes to be the great performer, director and artist that the legendary Raj Kapoor was. “My aim is not superstardom. My target is to achieve what my grandfather did.”

With the complete Kapoor-clan behind him, Ranbir is sure to go a long way. He is sure to get compared to the famous Kapoors of yore, like his father Rishi and of course Raj Kapoor.“I’m not making a conscious effort to walk in my father’s footsteps, though he’s my favorite actor and I don’t mind being compared with him. But I don’t act or dance like him,” he said.

So the latest chip off the old block is all set to make his parents proud. Ranbir Kapoor is very keen to be a part of his home production, and bring the old glory back. “It will bring a smile to the face, a tear to the eye, that RK Films was famous for!”.
