When Ranbir Kapoor was praised for ‘Dhurandhar’ during Ramayana event
Ranbir Kapoor, during his Ramayana event in New York, was pranked. When Vishal Misra, one of the attendees at the event, praised him for Dhurandhar, he clarified that he was Ranbir Kapoor, and that the former must have been referring to Ranveer Singh. Director Nitesh Tiwari, who was standing close by, quickly told RK that he was being pranked and the attendee was referring to an old ad with ‘Ranbir Kapoor’ and ‘Ranveer Singh’ mentions.
