His next film, the romantic comedy Bachna Ae Haseeno - Love on Detours (2008) together with Deepika Padukone achieved high box office results. The first item song in the film is a remix of his father's superhit Rishi Kapoor from the film Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin (1977), the title of which gave the film its name.

Since his character was deaf and dumb, Ranbir Kapoor had to prove his talent like a silent movie star using facial expressions, body language and slapstick . He was awarded numerous film prizes for this performance, and in 2013 he again received the Filmfare Award for best leading actor.

His second collaboration with Ayan Mukerji in the romantic comedy Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) was Kapoor's greatest commercial success to date, both domestically and overseas, as the film is one of the four top-grossing films in the Hindi film industry to date .
