The going has been smooth for this Kapoor cub! Though his 'Saawariya' did not shake the BO, he sure has made a mark and has been having a steady flow of films to his credit.

The latest buzz is that he has signed a film with Rajkumar Santoshi and the film has been titled 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani', that will see Ranbir sharing screen space with Katrina Kaif. There were also rumours that this couple had very good on-screen chemistry and looked great together.

Ranbir who has been receiving the roles of a casanova or a romantic hero in his films so far will reportedly be touching base with a very different role in this Santoshi film. Insiders reveal that Ranbir will be essaying the role of a hero with a good amount of humour to it.

It is indicated that 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani' will have the hero who has lots of lows in life but still puts on on a brave front and cheers people around him forgetting his personal woes.

Director Rajkumar Santoshi was earlier quoted as saying that he noticed that Ranbir had a subtle essence of his granddad, the legend Raj Kapoor, in him and that was the reason for signing him for this film.

Now lets wait it out and see if this grandson brings praise to his granddad!
