Shamshera star Ranbir Kapoor wants wife Alia Bhatt to produce his directorial venture

Before making his acting debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya, Ranbir Kapoor assisted the ace filmmaker on his highly acclaimed film Black starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji in lead roles. The superstar has time and again said that he would certainly like to sit in the director’s chair one day.

In one of his recent interviews during the promotions of his forthcoming release Shamshera, Ranbir reaffirmed that direction is very much on his wish list. Further, he also said that he would like his wife Alia Bhatt to produce his directorial venture.

“When I produced Jagga Jasoos with Anurag Basu, I didn’t have that experience. I was only producing that film as an actor. So till now, I have not worked as a producer. But yes, I have always wanted to direct a film,” the 39-year-old actor told FilmiBeat.

He continued, “In this lockdown, I have also written a story, which I have liked very much. But I don’t have that skill to write.. so that I can go and share that story with people and make a film with them. But yes, direction is more on my wish list than production. Well, my wife is a producer.. and is a very good producer, so maybe she can produce my film.”

For the unversed, Alia recently stepped into production with Darlings which will release on Netflix.
