For decades, the Hindi film industry has asked a recurring question: Will India ever see another megastar on the scale of Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, or Shah Rukh Khan? In an age of fractured entertainment landscapes, streaming saturation, audience segmentation, and the rising influence of AI-generated performers, many industry watchers argue that the era of larger-than-life icons may be ending. But celebrated astrologer Vikkramm Chandirramani, known for his long streak of timestamped predictions on actors, filmmakers, and box-office outcomes, believes otherwise.
In a new assessment, Chandirramani says Ranbir Kapoor is the strongest contender for India’s next true mega star. “Ranbir Kapoor has a very powerful chart,” Chandirramani tells Koimoi. “There are striking similarities between his chart and that of Amitabh Bachchan. Like Bachchan, Ranbir has a strong Saturn influence. This makes him disciplined and inclined to work steadfastly toward his goals. Both have the temperament and the planetary support required to dominate their era.”
Chandirramani, who has previously predicted several major turning points in Bollywood, including the comebacks of Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol, both of which materialized exactly as he forecast, believes Ranbir is set for a similar ascent.

According to Chandirramani, both Kapoor and Bachchan share a rare astrological signature: four planets in Virgo. “Virgo energy makes a person a stickler for detail,” he says. “It strengthens communication, sharpens analysis, and creates an instinctive drive to refine and keep refining their craft. Virgo natives are very self-critical, constantly thinking and revising. They outwork and outthink the competition because they’re never satisfied, never complacent. This also makes them relatively immune to sychophancy, something even the greatest stars have succumbed to.”
He adds that a stellium – four or more planets occupying a single sign – amplifies this obsessive relationship with work, craft, and process. “Legends abound about the risks Bachchan took – from doing his own stunts to pushing himself to extremes to deliver iconic performances,” Chandirramani notes. “Ranbir functions in a similar way. His work in Sanju with prosthetics, or the physical transformations he adopts, shows a deep Virgo-like commitment to detail.”
Planetary periods, he says, form the heart of his prediction. Chandirramani points out that Bachchan’s golden run from the early 1970s until 1991, spanning films from Zanjeer to Hum, coincided almost exactly with his 19-year Saturn dasha. Despite political missteps and health challenges, Bachchan commanded a level of dominance few global stars achieve.
“Ranbir Kapoor begins his own Saturn dasha in March 2026,” Chandirramani says. “And it lasts 19 years. This is when his stature will rise dramatically. Saturn rewards hard work, consistency, and grit, and Ranbir’s chart shows he has all three. These years will define him.” He adds that January 2026 will open with a series of creative collaborations for Ranbir, setting the tone for a much more ambitious phase of his career.
March and April 2026 will also be especially eventful, marking the first surge of momentum under the new dasha. The Virgo cluster sits in Kapoor’s fifth house of creativity, which Chandirramani says points not only to commercial success but to a deeper phase of artistic evolution. He notes an interesting parallel: Raj Kapoor also had four planets connected to his fifth house, with the Sun, Jupiter, and Mercury placed there, and Mars ruling it. It is no coincidence, Chandirramani observes, that Raj Kapoor is remembered as one of India’s greatest filmmakers.
Speaking about Ranbir, the astrologer adds, “He won’t just act in major films. He’ll expand his creative footprint. He has already spoken about wanting to direct and to revive the iconic RK Films banner founded by his grandfather. His chart strongly supports these ambitions.” Chandirramani also draws a parallel with Bachchan’s wide-ranging creative engagement – from singing and composing to extensive experimentation behind the scenes. “Bachchan never officially directed a film,” he says, “but everyone in the industry knows how adept he is at various aspects of filmmaking. Ranbir shares that same multidimensional energy.”
Kapoor’s career has had its share of volatility, cycling between phases of critical acclaim and box-office inconsistency – until Animal (2023) shattered any doubts about his commercial strength. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga thriller crossed ₹900 crore worldwide, emerging as one of the highest-grossing Hindi films in history. Chandirramani had predicted the film’s blockbuster success “several weeks before the trailer came out,” he notes, adding that Ranbir’s performance in Animal was a preview of the career-defining energy the actor will step into over the next two decades.
“A megastar isn’t just a performer; they become the emotional signature of an era,” Chandirramani says. “And stardom has evolved, but the human hunger for icons never fades.” Asked about concerns that the rise of streaming platforms and AI-generated performers may prevent the emergence of future megastars, Chandirramani disagrees. “True icons are never just about the medium,” he says. “AI can create actors, yes. But AI cannot create human charisma. Ranbir has that irreplaceable spark.”
Chandirramani believes that the industry, too, is subconsciously preparing for this transition. “You can sense the expectations around him shifting,” he says. “Filmmakers are already writing stories of greater scale with him in mind. Saturn dashas have a way of revealing someone’s full potential – and Ranbir Kapoor is headed into one of the most powerful phases any actor can have.”
If proven true, Chandirramani’s prediction could reshape ongoing conversations around the future of stardom, marking the rise of Bollywood’s next era-defining figure. “Every generation asks whether a megastar will emerge again,” he says. “And every generation is eventually surprised. Ranbir Kapoor will be that surprise.”
