As Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor celebrated his birthday on Monday, the internet was flooded with tributes from fans and family alike. Among the most heartwarming messages was a special birthday shout-out from his mother, Neetu Kapoor, who shared her deep affection for her son on social media.
A Mother's Heartfelt Tribute
Neetu Kapoor took to social media to share a touching moment with the actor. Posting an adorable selfie of the duo, she penned a sweet note that resonated with fans across the country.

Ranbir Kapoor's Upcoming Mega-Project: Ramayana
While the actor celebrates his special day, he remains at the center of massive cinematic anticipation. Ranbir is currently deeply involved in his most ambitious project to date—'Ramayana'. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, this epic saga is set to be a visual spectacle that brings the ancient tale to life on the big screen.
The star-studded cast for this two-part epic includes:
- Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram
- Sai Pallavi as Sita
- Yash as Ravana
- Sunny Deol as Hanuman
- Ravie Dubey as Lakshman
The film is inspired by the legendary epic, tracing the journey of Rama—believed to be an avatar of Lord Vishnu—from his life in Ayodhya through his exile and the ultimate battle against Ravana.
A Tribute to a Legend
Ranbir Kapoor’s connection to the role of Lord Ram is deeply personal. During an event in Delhi this past July, the actor paid a moving tribute to veteran actor Arun Govil, who famously portrayed Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar's iconic television series. Interestingly, Govil is set to appear in Nitesh Tiwari's film as King Dasharatha.
"Arun ji, you have represented this responsibility for so many years with such beauty, truth and dignity. Your journey has inspired not only an actor like me, but every person who watched Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan," Ranbir remarked during the tribute. He added that if he could achieve even a fraction of the grace Govil brought to the role, he would consider his hard work successful.
'Ramayana Part One' is being produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in association with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. The film is scheduled to hit cinemas during Diwali 2026, with Sony Pictures handling global distribution outside of India.
