Anticipation Surrounds Ranbir Kapoor's Upcoming Projects

Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor has fans buzzing with excitement for his upcoming films. However, the postponement of one of his most awaited projects has left many disappointed. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Love and War' will not premiere as planned. Originally set for a March 2026 release, discussions now suggest a delay until August or September 2026. This shift not only affects 'Love and War' but also has repercussions for another major project, 'Ramayana'.

Extended Filming for 'Love and War'

Extended Shooting Schedule for Love and War
Sources from a prominent entertainment outlet indicate that the filming of 'Love and War' has exceeded initial timelines. Bhansali is crafting this film on a grand scale, leading to an extended shooting schedule that is now expected to last until May 2026. Consequently, a release in March or June 2026 is no longer feasible. This delay has a direct impact on 'Ramayana', directed by Nitesh Tiwari, as the team had hoped for a six-month interval between the two films to ensure each could stand out. The potential reduction of this gap has reportedly caused disappointment among some crew members.

Consequences for 'Ramayana'

Impact on 'Ramayana'
Reports suggest that Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal have committed significant time to 'Ramayana'. The extended filming schedule has also affected their availability for other projects. Nevertheless, the production team is adamant that the film's quality will not be compromised, even with the delay.

Insights on 'Ramayana'

Regarding the film 'Ramayana.'
'Ramayana' is anticipated to be one of the most ambitious projects in Hindi cinema. In this film, Ranbir Kapoor will portray Lord Rama, with Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. Reports indicate that the editing of the first part of 'Ramayana' is nearing completion.
