Actor Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up for the release of his much-awaited film, Ramayana. In a conversation with Collider, the actor recalled his fanboy moments before he became a star. Ranbir shared stories of being a fanboy and encountering Hollywood stars like Quentin Tarantino, Al Pacino, and Natalie Portman.
He revealed that he was a big movie geek, watching a film a day for the last 35 years. Ranbir said he was shooed away by Natalie Portman, shown the finger by Quentin Tarantino, and met Bill Murray. He also shared that he waited three hours to meet Al Pacino, who was doing a reading of Salomé on Broadway at the time.
