New Delhi: Ranbir Kapoor's upcoming movie 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' is all set to release in Russia and the actor is happy to showcase his work in a country which shared a special bond with his grandfather Raj Kapoor.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the love story stars Ranbir alongside his former girlfriend Deepika Padukone. It will be Ranbir's first project to be released in Russia.
"My grandfather was very popular in Russia. The people of Russia gave tremendous love to him and his films. Finally, I am getting a chance to release my film 'Yeh Jawaani Hain Deewani' in Russia."
