Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Ranbir Kapoor has sent the internet into a nostalgic frenzy after appearing in a new advertisement where he flawlessly channels his legendary grandfather, the great "Showman" Raj Kapoor. The ad sees Ranbir stepping into the iconic shoes of the 'tramp' character from the classic 1951 film, Awaara, and the resemblance is striking.
In the viral video for a steel company, Ranbir is seen sporting the complete Awaara look: a checkered shirt, dark trousers held up by suspenders, a classic hat, and that unmistakable, mischievous charm. The look, immortalized by Raj Kapoor, became a symbol of the hopeful, street-smart common man in post-independence India, making this tribute resonate deeply with generations of film lovers.
Fans were quick to flood social media with praise, applauding Ranbir not just for the physical resemblance but for capturing the essence and spirit of his grandfather's beloved character. Comments highlighted the "uncanny" likeness and called the ad a "heartwarming homage" to one of Indian cinema's greatest figures.
As the current torchbearer of the illustrious Kapoor family legacy, this is more than just a role for Ranbir; it's a beautiful nod to his rich heritage and the golden age of Bollywood. The ad successfully bridges generations, reminding everyone of the timeless appeal of both the Kapoor dynasty and the magic of classic Indian cinema.
