Rajkumar Hirani Reveals Ranbir Kapoor Had NO Entourage While Shooting Sanju; Says, “We Didn’t Know Who His Manager Was”

Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani has praised Ranbir Kapoor for not having an entourage and for maintaining direct communication with crew members. The high costs of actors’ entourages have been a topic of discussion in the film industry for some time. However, in a recent interaction, Hirani stated that Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor is an exception. According to him, the actor doesn’t have an entourage and personally interacts with everyone on set, including the entire crew.

Rajkumar Hirani Reveals Ranbir Kapoor Had NO Entourage While Shooting For Sanju

Hirani mentioned that he has been fortunate with the actors he has worked with, as most of them never had entourage-related demands. He told Zoom, “I’ve been fortunate with the individuals I’ve worked with. I haven’t encountered entourage issues with Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Dutt, Aamir Khan, and with Ranbir Kapoor.”

Reflecting on his experience shooting the 2018 film Sanju, Hirani shared that he managed the entire project without ever knowing who Ranbir’s manager was. He said, “I managed the entire film without even knowing who his manager was. There was no manager; he personally reached out to everyone. Every assistant had his contact. Anything he needed, he would directly message everyone. However, I do hear stories about entourages, and sometimes there can be an excess of people.”

Ranbir Had No Entourage On Animal Set

Not just Hirani, but many actors who have worked with Ranbir have also praised his simplicity and lack of a large team of assistants or managers. Earlier, Animal actor Srinath Maganti shared a similar sentiment during an appearance on the Sodhi Chebutha podcast. He said, “Ranbir Kapoor does not come with an entourage. When he comes on set, a huge plate filled with healthy chips, biscuits, chocolates, and all kinds of snacks is brought along. It’s for the people around him on set. If you’re hungry, you pick it. I remember when I first took a snack, someone told me, ‘ye sir ka hai’ (this is sir’s). I was like, ‘itna khate kya sir’ (does sir eat this much)? Ranbir overheard and was like, ‘aye c**tiye, khaane de’ (let him eat). He’s not abusive, but he’s the kind to cuss with love.”

About Ranbir And Ramayana

Ranbir’s next highly anticipated project is Ramayana. The film is produced by Namit Malhotra and directed by Nitesh Tiwari, who previously helmed Aamir Khan’s blockbuster Dangal. Ramayana is believed to be the most expensive Indian film ever made, with a reported budget of Rs 4,000 crore. It recently topped IMDb’s Most Anticipated Indian Movies List for the second half of 2026.

Alongside Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, the film features Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman. The project is planned as a two-part epic, with the first instalment set for release during Diwali 2026, followed by the second part during Diwali 2027.
