Ranveer Singh turns a year older today and the actor is being flooded with wishes from fans and colleagues from the industry. Filmmaker Karan Johar also took to social media to share BTS stills with Ranveer Singh from the sets of their upcoming film 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani'

Karan shared multiple pics with his lead actor and wrote, "It’s ROCKY day!!!! Happiest birthday to this magnanimous force of nature…thank you for giving all your heart to our kahaani…Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Lots of love to you always"

This is the first time Karan Johar has directed Ranveer Singh for a film. Singh's performance in the trailer of the film has been highly appreciated. He plays a flamboyant Punjabi munda who falls in love with a sophisticated Bengali woman (Alia Bhatt). The two set out to convince their culturally different families to approve their union

Last year in August, Karan had penned a post for Ranveer Singh praising him. "I have grown to love Ranveer Singh! The man! The person! The Ball of love that he is! His ability to make everyone he meets feel so special… the love that he exudes and that consumes his being and his entire aura… his passion to express every little gesture of love …. Over the period of my film I have observed him closely and at a distance as to what a solid guy he is," he wrote

"Yes he has his idiosyncrasies as an artist but thats what we see translate so beautifully on celluloid! So he’s allowed! On a personal level I have been so touched on so many instances just by his generosity of spirit! I love you Ranveer! Never lose sight of that “good bacha” you were raised to be," he added

'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' marks Karan's seventh directorial and his 25th year in the industry. The film also stars Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan ans Shabana Azmi among others
