The actor appeared to take a swipe at Gen Z with his latest post. Shortly after he shared the picture, it went viral on social media.

One user commented, "Looking slick, bro," while another wrote, "We're Count Dracula of Gen Z. The originals!" Other comments included "We will give you the millennial title too," "Hollywood has Jim Carrey; Bollywood has Ranvir Shorey," and "Really? You look younger than that."

This is not the first time Shorey has shared posts seemingly aimed at younger generations. Earlier, he wrote, "If just 3 glib mo**s on Insta can make you turn on your parents, you're not Gen Z, you're Gen G!"
