It's the Ranbir Kapoor wave. Saawariya is a thing of the past and suddenly the nation has woken up to the emerging superstar who has not just delivered two back to back successes (Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani) but also found a certain respectability coming his way as an actor. Belonging to those rare breed of newer generation actors who have also found being hailed as stars in their initial efforts itself (Hrithik Roshan is the last big name that comes to the mind), Ranbir Kapoor today finds himself in a comfortable position in the industry. With Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year coming up next and all set to be a success, courtesy names like Shimit Amin (Chak De India Ab Tak Chappan) and Yesraj involved, he must be a little relieved, right?

Coming up next is Rajneeti which seems like an altogether different outing for Ranbir when compared to the three releases he has enjoyed in 2009. Happy to have found himself in this glorious period where different films are being made? "Of course and the best part is that all these films are like chalk and cheese and have shaped up quite well", says Ranbir.
Ask me", he smiles, "No really, it is no fun. Thankfully both Wake Up Sid and Ajab Prem... succeeded, so it means that I continued to talk about them even after their release. Now there is Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year arriving in a few days so I guess there is still no time for rest. Thankfully, shooting for Anjaana Anjaani acted as a breather of sorts."
