Ranbir Kapoor’s foray into cinema began early, with short films he created in his early twenties – a subtle yet telling expression of the creative legacy passed down from his iconic grandfather, Raj Kapoor, who himself directed his first feature at just 24. That inheritance is reflected not only in spirit but also in name: Ranbir was named after his grandfather, whose full name was Ranbir Raj Kapoor.

Long before he appeared on screen, Ranbir immersed himself in the process behind it. He assisted on Prem Granth (1995), helmed by his uncle Rajiv Kapoor, and Aa Ab Laut Chalen (1999), directed by his father, Rishi Kapoor. These early experiences were formative, grounding him in the workings of the industry. His most significant apprenticeship, however, came with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black (2005), a film he worked on closely behind the scenes. That collaboration would eventually shape his acting debut in Saawariya (2007), launched by Bhansali during Ranbir’s Rahu dasha, Moon bhukti. Though Saawariya did not fare well commercially, ending its box office run with 23.25 crores and considered a flop, Ranbir Kapoor’s performance was praised.

His next film, Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), YRF production, also tanked at the box office. His first taste of box office success came during his Mars bhukti with Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009), which grossed 99.74 crores at the box office. The momentum was broken by YRF’s Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009), a film Ranbir Kapoor had high hopes on but which did not work.
