Ranbir Kapoor will helm the behind-the-scenes segment for the Barfee DVD PS: The film's shoot starts this week

Ranbir Kapoor has publicly admitted he wants to become a director someday.

He's taking baby steps towards that vocation by shooting the behind-the-scenes feature 'The Making of Barfee', that will appear on the film's DVD, post the theatrical release.

A source reveals, "He is super-excited about directing the segment. It was director Anurag Basu's idea. He explained to RK that it should be made from an actor's perspective.

He wants him to showcase his sensibility on cinema. Ranbir has assisted Sanjay Leela Bhansali during Black and has a good technical knowledge of film-making."

Ranbir begins capturing footage when their shoot begins later this week. He will be given a special camera for it.

A source makes light of it, noting, "He's going to have fun with both Priyanka and Ileana since they know him for his pranks. They jokingly complained that Ranbir would definitely pull some stunt on them."

RK will also edit the material with Basu before it makes it to the DVD.

Siddharth Roy Kapoor of UTV (the film's producers) maintains, "Nothing's been confirmed yet.

But yes, we were toying with the idea as it would be interesting to see the making of the film from an actor's point of view. It hasn't been tried so far."
