"Hopefully, I will direct a film some day and I will pay tribute to some of my idols who have been actor-directors," the 27-year-old said here Thursday at a special screening of "Talaash".
Ranveer made the remark especially in the context of actor Aamir Khan, who is also a producer and turned director with "Taare Zameen Par".
Meanwhile, Ranveer is sporting a new look. He has a moustache for the film "Ram Leela".
Asked if he has been receiving compliments for it, he said: "Best compliment, girls say, 'You look cute'."
Being directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, "Ram Leela" stars Deepika Padukone opposite him.
