Ranbir Kapoor reveals plans for directorial debut, says he wants to move behind the camera in 2-3 years: ‘It's my last decade as an actor’

Ranbir Kapoor has begun taking steps toward a future behind the camera, saying he wants to make his directorial debut in the next two to three years.

The actor revealed that he started working on a script a few months ago. While the project has given him a starting point, he said the writing process has been considerably more difficult than he initially expected.

A new perspective on filmmaking

Working on the script has also changed Kapoor’s appreciation of the creative work involved in making a film. He said the experience has given him greater respect for the people who develop stories and translate them onto the screen.

For Kapoor, directing also represents the chance to bring different individuals together around a common story. He spoke about the satisfaction of coordinating those contributions and shaping them into a film.

Preparing for a second creative role

Kapoor described the coming period of his acting career as his last decade as an actor, while expressing a clear desire to eventually take on directing. His comments indicate that the move is being considered as part of a longer-term creative transition rather than an immediate change.

Although he has not announced details of the script or a production timeline beyond the two-to-three-year plan, the writing process has already begun. For now, Kapoor remains focused on developing the story and learning more about the responsibilities that come with directing.
