The actor and the director grew into being thick friends after that. Before Ranveer made his debut in Bollywood, the actor assisted Shaad Ali for more than a year on advertisement projects.
Shaad is like an older brother for Ranveer, and holds a very special place in the actors life. The two share a very dynamic equation, having a deep understanding.
It had always been Ranveer's dream to be directed by Shaad Ali, which has come true with his upcoming release Kill Dil. The film, also starring Parineeti Chopra, Ali Zafar and Govinda is slated to release on November 14.
Talking about the movie, at a recently held event, Ranveer said, " Kill Dil is much more to me than just a film, Shaad Ali, who is like my elder brother has directed it. Since past 13-14 years I have dreamt of being the hero of a film, which will be directed by Shaad and produced by YRF and finally that dream has come true. It's surreal and it's an incredible feeling. "
