I think Ranbir Kapoor throwing a fan's camera is part of an ad gimmick... a cell phone ad maybe? RK is one of the most well-behaved & well-brought stars I know & he could/would never lose his cool in public like this. And he loves his fans. 💖

The claim in the video that Ranbir was being rude to the fan is most likely false. The fans believe it's a gimmick for the promotion of the smartphone company, which has Kapoor on board as their brand ambassador.

On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor will be starring in Luv Ranjan's 'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar'. He will also star in Sandeep Vanga-directed film 'Animal', which will also feature Rashmika Mandana in the lead role.
