Ranbir Kapoor appears in all three of Ayan Mukerji's films: Wake Up Sid!, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and his impending magnum opus, Brahmastra. The filmmaker does not mince words when describing his "good friend" as wonderful and explains why the actor plays such an important role in all of his films.

In an interview with IANS, Ayan stated that Ranbir is incredible. He's a genuine actor whose work is recognized, and the filmmaker was fortunate enough to meet him on Wake Up Sid! They became fast friends and had a great understanding of one another at work. Ranbir admires his vision and the way he thinks, and the actor believes in it completely. Ayan has been writing stories about young characters that are roughly the same age as him or who think in the same way that he does.

According to the 38-year-old filmmaker, Ranbir has been a perfect fit for all of his previous films. Ayan continued by saying that, as a result, the sync came about quite naturally and there were no computations involved. Ranbir came into the filmmaker's life as one of those natural things that happens in life, and he's perfect for the films Ayan has created.

Ayan is currently anticipating the release of Brahmastra, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Alia Bhatt, and Mouni Roy. The talented filmmaker went on to say that he thinks it's amazing that the rest of the cast came in first, starting with Alia, then Bachchan, and then Nagarjuna. However, he must state that the entire vision of the film is bigger than the cast that is a part of it.

Ayan believes the cast sensed it on some level as well, and he can't separate working with the cast from the overall grandeur of the film we were making. The film is the most important aspect of Brahmastra.
