Veteran actor Randhir Kapoor, known for hit films like "Jeet", "Raampur Ka Lakshman" and "Jawani Diwani", says his nephew Ranbir Kapoor is the most intelligent actor in the Hindi film industry today.

Ranbir is the son of Randhir's younger brother Rishi Kapoor's son with veteran actress Neetu Singh.

Randhir was at a radio studio in Mumbai when he was asked what he thinks sets Ranbir apart from his own and Rishi's generation.

He said: "Ranbir is a very intelligent actor and he is one of my favourite actor in the present generation. He is very good and he is very intense. He is doing a wonderful job and his choice of films is very good."

Ranbir, who has a huge fan following for his good looks and versatile acting talent, will next be seen in "Roy", which is releasing Feb 13.
