Ranbir Kapoor and director Ayan Mukerji happen to be an awesome pair giving two hit films 'Wake Up Sid' and 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'. So there is no doubt in Ranbir playing the lead in the director's next which is in the pipeline.

But the interesting news is that unlike Ayan's earlier films, his next will touch the action flick genre but with a superpower twist. Apparently, the director's next will have Ranbir playing a superhero.

Ranbir will now follow actors like Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan with superpowers on celluloid. And compared to the previous two films, this one will be made on a higher budget.

Though the news is out, Ranbir nor Ayan were available for any comments.
