While I appreciate his ambition, I hope he doesn't spread himself too thin. He's at the peak of his acting career right now. Maybe focus on acting for a while longer?

The fact that he started as an assistant director shows he's always had this passion. Coming full circle after 18 years - what a journey! Can't wait to see what stories he wants to tell.

Another star kid turning director... but honestly, Ranbir has proven himself as an actor. Hope he brings the same dedication to direction. The writer's room approach is smart! 👍
